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.
Although President Obama chose to include these restrictions, he has made several exceptions to the Executive Order. The first waiver was issued only a day after Obama signed the Executive Order.
