Abstract This article reassesses the current paradigm of the presidential studies literature that holds that presidents have limited capacity to act unilaterally or make policy decisions on their own. I explore how presidents have used executive orders as a way of implementing significant policies unilaterally. Using an event-count analysis, I find that that the frequency of executive orders varies with substantive changes in the president's political environment. This evidence of a substantive component to order frequency shows that presidents can rely on their formal powers to make important policy decisions.
