Two wrongs don't equal a right. I criticized Obama and other Presidents when they took this approach. It is an incredibly dangerous idea that Congressional inaction authorizes a President to act.

EOs are a legal method of enacting a policy by a president. The FBI was created by one. Presidents have a right to use them. The Congress can supersede them with laws. Don't miss the larger point here which is that a functional 3 branches of govt is needed. It does not exist right now. Call your congressional reps and tell them to act like a co equal branch of government!!
Absolutely. But that is not what they are arguing. They are saying if Congress doesn't act, the President can. In fact the President's power is completely unrelated to Congress'.
