Good. I hate executive actions in general but they've just been getting worse for the last 20 years or so. It's a convenient way to absolve the legislature of having to do anything (if all on the same team) or the executive of having to actually work with them (if they are not). They also allow for substantial changes to occur without debate (or scrutiny if the media is feeling particularly lazy). The more we use them, the more it sets us up for a rotating dictatorship every 4-8 years.
