Executive Orders Reflect Growing Presidential Power Dynamics

A recent survey indicates that a majority of Americans find various presidential actions unacceptable, with significant partisan differences in perceptions. Key unacceptable behaviors include using campaign funds for personal legal disputes and pressuring the Department of Justice to investigate opponents, particularly disapproved by Democrats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), established by President Obama, has evolved over the years to address critical digital issues in government, demonstrating the significant impact of presidential decisions on public services. Both President Biden and former President Trump share a common critique for straying from the mandates they were elected on, leading to differing public approval ratings. Trump's executive orders have sparked controversy, particularly regarding federal employees' protections, highlighting tensions between executive power and civil service rights. As scrutiny of presidential actions increases, the effectiveness and implications of executive orders continue to be a focal point in political discussions.
