BARR: The Royal Decrees Of King George III Now Are The Executive Orders Of President Biden

America’s true “Greatest Generation” won our nation’s independence only after a costly and bloody war against Great Britain. It took eight years and many thousands of lives, but when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, the United States was a nation no longer subject to the arbitrary and absolute royal decrees issued by King George III. Now, 238 years later, we are reverting to a nation governed by the modern version of royal decrees – executive orders.

The painstakingly crafted Constitution that formalized our representative democracy in 1788 has continued a tripartite government of checks and balances essential to prevent any one branch from exercising unbridled power. Despite this system having withstood all manner of challenges, there now is a very real danger that the unprecedented use of executive orders by President Joe Biden to bypass the legislative branch will seriously, if not irreparably, damage our constitutional framework.

George Washington, our first and in many respects our best president, truly understood the system he helped create, and was genuinely loath to overstep those constitutional checks and balances. For example, during his two terms in office, Washington issued only eight executive orders. This is an astoundingly small number, considering that his near God-like popularity and the lack of any limiting precedents gave him the practical power to have used the executive order extensively to rule as he might have wished.

To one degree or another, most presidents since then have followed this tradition, using the executive order and other unilateral presidential missives for the limited purposes for which they have been recognized; that is, as a tool to administer the executive branch of government, and not to implement policies or to circumvent the will of the Congress.

It would be more accurate to refer the these 'royal decrees' as coming not from Biden but from the 4000 un-elected, untouchable bureaucratic appointees in the executive branch. The best we can ever hope for, I guess, is a president who will keep them in check like the last one did.

One day America will be shocked to learn the level of Chicom influence in the current administration. If we survive it.

Actually, the very real danger has already come to pass.   As you will recall, the Illegal Alien Marxist from Kenya declared that Congress wouldn't pass DACA, so he did it by executive fiat, a precise violation of separation of powers.

And when the President started cleaning up the Illegal Alien's illegal messes and reversed DACA by a contravening EO, the courts suddenly "woke" and said the President can't undo an illegal executive action by another presuming to be president.   Suddenly the real president needed legislative authority to restore the separation of powers.

The Executive Order exists, not to implement new law, but to direct the Executive Branch in how to best obey existing law, when such matters become troublesome.   That's their purpose, and as the bureaucracy expanded, naturally the use of the EO expanded.   

We all knew that the Usurper now occupying President Trump's basement was going to have to write a flurry of EOs because the Rodents and the RINOs have spent the last four years stonewalling the expressed will of the American people, forcing Trump to write EOs to heal the damage the Rodents have done to America in the last 32 years.

The BOGUS POTUS needs to resign before he is incarcerated for treason.

Its coming.  Percolating, and it will happen.
