Nothing new about nasty US Presidential Executive Orders

The world and its mother know/s now exactly what a presidential executive order is. How many has US President Donald Trump signed in the last four weeks?

And it’s not new to the US. On this day, February 19, 1942 United States President Franklin D Roosevelt signed  another executive order allowing US military to intern Japanese Americans. It was Executive Order 9066. Eighty-three years later it is recognised as a most shameful act.
