AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.6
Why has presidential use of executive orders increased over time despite no explicit grant from the Constitution?
Executive orders are a way for presidents to bypass judicial review.
Increase in executive orders is due solely to political polarization in Congress preventing legislative action.
Executive orders allow presidents more direct control over policy implementation than relying on congressional action.
Presidents use executive orders because they are prohibited from proposing legislation directly.
