Executive orders vary hugely in significance
First of all,  executive orders vary wildly in importance — some are vast and wide-ranging, while many others are utterly insignificant. For example, on most years, the president issues an executive order midway through December directing agencies to let employees leave work at noon on December 24th. And last February, Obama issued a four-page executive order renaming the "National Security Staff" to the "National Security Council Staff."

By contrast, Harry Truman issued an executive order to desegregate the military. And, obviously, other executive orders fall somewhere in between.

"With executive orders, the number is less important than the substance," Mayer said. In one of his studies, he drew up a sample of about 1,000 executive orders and tried to determine which actually had substantive importance — and found that only between 15 and 25 percent did.

You stole my thunder on that one. I was getting ready to emphasize the "qualitative" difference between orders as opposed to quantity.  By the way, if you average executive orders by 4 year term, Hoover blows all the rest away.

Still, where does Obama get off renaming already formed staff!
