Executive orders (EO's) are useful to presidents especially in times of war, because it allows them to bypass the lengthy congressional process that would otherwise take place.
to go against the presidents orders
In the 20th century, U.S. presidents increasingly employed military force to expand executive powers, often bypassing Congress. Notable examples include the use of military interventions in Korea and Vietnam, where presidents asserted their authority to act decisively in foreign affairs without formal declarations of war. This trend was further solidified by the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which sought to limit presidential war-making powers but ultimately underscored the executive's ability to engage militarily in conflicts. As a result, presidents have often claimed a broader interpretation of their constitutional powers concerning military action, shaping the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.

I assume the "end run" you are concerned about is gun control legislation. Actually, throughout history, presidents have found ways to get around congress by using executive orders. While it is generally not something presidents claim they want to do (it can stir up resentment from congress and anger from the voters), there are times when they feel they have to do it, in order to move a policy initiative forward. Other presidents have done it, and while I cannot predict what President Obama will do, issuing executive orders is not uncommon and such orders are generally legal, even if they may be very unpopular.
