Confidence votes 34.7K. Here is a list of US presidents and the number of executive orders each has signed. The president with the most executive orders was FDR with 3,522. Barack Obama - 144 (so far). George W. Bush - 291.
First of all, the number of executive orders issued by President Obama is grossly exaggerated here. Through his first term (i.e., the first four years of his presidency), Barack Obama issued 147 executive orders, not 923.rders during his eight years in office, while President Bill Clinton issued 364 such orders over the same span of time. The listing of numbers of executive orders issued during the terms of modern presidents included in one of the examples above also bears no resemblance to reality.
