The president who was most responsible for expanding the power of the presidency through the use of executive orders was Andrew Jackson. He dictated twelve executive orders, being the first American president to exceed ten executive orders during his term.

Executive orders are provisions issued by the President of the United States that administer the operations of the executive branch of the federal government.

Executive orders belong to administrative law, but have the force of law only when they are based on the executive powers granted directly to the President of the United States by the Constitution (Article II), or are dictated according to laws of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President a certain degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation).
