During her tenure as Governor of Alaska from 2006 to 2009, Sarah Palin signed a total of 30 Executive Orders. While she often referenced her use of executive orders to emphasize her decisive governance, this number is relatively modest compared to other governors. Palin's executive orders addressed various issues, including state policy and administrative changes.

First, a word of caution: there are internet rumors that President Obama has signed more executive orders than any president in history (false), declared martial law (false), or signed 900 executive orders (false). In actuality, all presidents sign executive orders, and while the name sounds very serious, most of them are quite mundane-- naming monuments, creating new committees, establishing a new department. The number signed during a four-year term will vary: George H.W. Bush signed 166 of them during his four years in office; Bill Clinton signed 144 of them; George W. Bush signed 171 of them. And at the end of his first term, Mr. Obama had signed a total of 147 of them. To read which executive orders Mr. Obama has signed, some of which include creating a committee to study Health Care Reform, permitting stem cell research, prohibiting certain transactions with North Korea, and improving access to mental health services for returning veterans, I enclose a link to all of the ones he has signed thus far.
I am not sure what you mean by "papers." In our system of government, congress passes legislation (laws) and then the president signs them. The president can also sign executive orders. Without more information, it is difficult to answer, since this president (like all other presidents) has signed a number of bills into law; Mr. Obama has also issued 144 executive orders during his first four years in office.
THe President can not make laws. He can sign bills into law and he has signed most of the ones that cross his desk. He does issue executive orders and gives orders to the Justice Department to ignore some parts of some laws. This latter action may be illegal but he has not yet been seriously challenged.
An ale-bush is an archaic term for the sign indicating the presence and name of a tavern.

Yes, his orders on the matter were verbal. Michael Montagne
The Executive Branch
I am not sure what paper you are referring to. Presidents can sign laws, but they do not make them. Only congress can make the laws, because in our system of government, laws come from the legislative branch. When a new law is passed and sent to the president, he can either sign it or he can veto it. One thing a president can do, however, is to issue an Executive Order, which is like a presidential decree, but it is usually not referred to as a "paper." Executive orders can be about addressing serious issues, or they can be about establishing committees or task forces.
Forsythia!
