Don't let facts get in the way of your statements.

"President Woodrow Wilson used World War I as an excuse to shift the practice of regulating through executive orders into high gear. Almost every aspect of life in America was affected by these regulations, Entire agencies ware set up by executive orders to issue regulations. These agencies included the Food Administration, War Trade Bureau, and the Committee on Public Information.

President Franklin Roosevelt built on the work done by Woodrow Wilson in ways that were previously unimagined. Under his administration the executive branch became the primary legislative branch of the government and has been ever since even though the Constitution declares that all legislative powers are granted to congress. In addition to new regulatory agencies created by executive order congress passed several laws during the Great Depression that created new agencies and delegated to them legislative authority. Some of these Agencies were part of the executive branch, some completely independent, and others semi-independent. These agencies include the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, The Federal Communications Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board. All of these agencies are still here issuing regulations even though they are unconstitutional".

In 1861 President Abraham Lincoln issued 18 executive orders and the numbers go up for there. To try and blame Wilson is folly and incorrect.

Likewise, in FDR's presidency the United States was in crisis and FDR's leadership got the country back to work. The US business community did not have the strength to do it. Moreover, his leadership won WWII.

Revisionist history doesn't work to change reality.
