Executive Orders are issued by Presidents at their discretion; there is at present little legal limitation upon the practice.
Since the Constitution of the United States specifically designates that only Congress may make laws (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 - the "Necessary and Proper Clause", also known as the "Elastic Clause", and by various other terms): "...To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.", many observers consider that Executive Orders are an unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, assertion of Presidential power over Congressional purview; nevertheless, depending on the criteria used in counting them, some 10,000 Executive Orders have been issued by the 44 American Presidents.
A comprehensive listing of all Executive Orders going back to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four administrations (note that the very latest E.O.'s may not be reflected in the list for several weeks or even months after their signing) may be found at the Federal Register in the related link below.
