Executive Orders are issued by the President of the United States.
Read what Wikipedia.com has to say about them. "United States Presidents issue executive orders to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself. Executive orders have the full force of law,[1] since issuances are typically made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress, some of which specifically delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation),
or are believed to take authority from a power granted directly to the
Executive by the Constitution. However, these perceived justifications
cited by Presidents when authoring Executive Orders have come under
criticism for exceeding executive authority; at various times throughout
U.S. history, challenges to the legal validity or justification for an
order have resulted in legal proceedings."
How many have been issued across the years since Teddy Roosevelt was President? (These numbers come from an e-mail I received today and have not been verified).
Teddy Roosevelt 3FDR 11 in 16 years
Truman 5 in 7 years
Ike 2 in 8 years
Kennedy 4 in 3 years
LBJ 4 in 5 years
Nixon 1 in 6 years
Ford 3 in 2 years
Carter 3 in 4 years
Reagan 5 in 8 years
Bush 3 in 4 years
Clinton 15 in 8 years
George W. Bush 62 in 8 years
Obama 923 in 3½ years
923?
Anybody else worried about the U.S.A. under Obama's rule?
You never know who is interested…

Gus, Obama's been POTUS for 4.5 years. Still, this is disgusting.
Thanks, Joseph, for the correction. I have no idea whether the number of EOs is correct. But Obama has been issuing a lot of them, and to me that is worrisome.
He's the president, not the king.
30 seconds of time spent with Google yielded some actual facts:

Whoever authored the email you quoted is a failure at basic math, or a liar.
Nice job acting like major meda, Gus- repeating something without bothering to do basic research.
Thanks for your 30 seconds, John.
I do not believe the number of EO's means a pinch of crap! It's the EO's content that should be looked at.
Want examples of what Obama is doing?
EO 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EO 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
EO 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision
EO 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EO 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EO 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.
EO 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
Maybe I WILL go out and buy that AR-15 tomorrow. And the Glock, too. And the 1,000 rounds of ammo.
