How many executive orders for each president?

If you are asking whether President Obama has issued the most executive orders (as claimed in an internet chain e-mail), the answer is no. In fact, he has issued fewer executive orders than many of his predecessors, including President George W. Bush (Mr. Bush issued 291 of them, while President Obama's current total is 168). I enclose a link to a reliable total of all executive orders: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued the most (more than 3500 of them during his 12 years in office).

What is it called when the president establishes rules and regulations that the government must follow?

The President does not have the authority to establish rules and regulations on his own. The President is only supposed to have the power to sign or veto bills voted on and passed by the legislature (House and Senate). In the past few years, the President has taken it on himself to go around the Legislative branch of government by using Executive Orders. Executive Orders are to be used only in emergencies when Congress is not in session and when an emergency does not allow time to get Congress back in session. Our Constitution set up government to be a set of checks and balances using the three branches of government with each playing a part.
