What are the dangers of executive orders and political stalemates?
When congress continues to be bogged down by bi-partisan bickering and halt legislative advances, it is then that presidents have been inclined to take executive power to break through the stalemate. This increasing pattern of executive orders is a dangerous precedent when it comes to respecting our constitution and judicial process. The system works when we let it work, but when political motives block principled progress, it is a problem for us all. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
