Excuse me for being a little cynical... But I find the timing a little convenient that only after 2016 are people concerned about Executive Orders and presidential overreach.
I'm sure this comment will be followed up with someone saying "nah I've been concerned" and that may be true, but let's look at the common mode here.
It's like the people arguing for bigger government are many of the same people arguing against government when it's someone they don't like in power and can't see past their own noses on this.
