With President Trump's controversial decision to call a state of emergency at the border, there has been a predictable amount of backlash. There is even a lawsuit between 16 states against the president to challenge his use of emergency powers. In the midst of all this, let us take a look back at the king of executive decisions: Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama.

Well, saying Obama is the king of executive orders is a bit misleading. In reality, he's tied for that crown with George W. Bush before him. The two presidents each enacted 12 national emergencies during their time in the White House.

The point of this, obviously, is to point out Obama's large amount of executive actions that went unnoticed and unpunished by the general public. Meanwhile, Trump's fourth executive decision is being raked across the coals, even earning him a lawsuit. At this point, however, we just need to accept that this is the way of the world. Birds fly, British food is terrible and the media attacks Republicans for doing things Democrats did.
