Retraction in science. In science, a retraction of a published scientific article indicates that the original article should not have been published and that its data and conclusions should not be used as part of the foundation for future research.
According to the database, Obama has issued 139 executive orders so far. In a comparable amount of time in their presidencies, President George W. Bush signed 160 executive orders, while President Bill Clinton signed 364. By the way, executive orders are numbered consecutively, so you can easily count how many each president signed.
Counting Obamaâs 277 executive orders, Democratic presidents have issued a total of 8, 354 executive orders. Republican presidents (not including Trump) haves issued a total of 7,122 executive orders. No doubt that Franklin D. Rooseveltâs 3,721 executive orders over his 12 years in office skewed the data on the Democratsâ side.
