Unfortunately successive presidents have decided that using executive orders is acceptable instead of putting stuff past Congress and the House which requires more negotiating. The strangest thing is, you could understand it somewhat with a lame duck president like Biden, who only had control of one house instead of both, but Trump does not have this excuse. The majority of law changes should go through the normal vetting process because the politicians in his party would be able to get them through the most legitimate way. Instead we have descended to full on dictator level law making from a single person with the other elected politicians hardly having any input to the process at all. It's making a complete mockery of democracy and is a great injustice towards dismantling the way America has functioned for centuries.
