The Obama administration unexpectedly announced two new gun control measures on Thursday, including one that would curb the import of military surplus weapons -- in a move that could anger collectors.

Vice President Biden announced the new measures Thursday morning. The new rules, announced while Washington was otherwise focused on the crisis in Syria, took the form of executive actions, which President Obama added to the list of 23 steps the White House already determined the president could take on his own.

The steps come after Congress declined to pass any gun control legislation earlier this year despite an aggressive White House push for action in the wake of the Newton, Conn., shooting massacre. With the political world focused on Mideast tensions and looming fiscal battles, the move signaled Obama's intent to show he hasn't lost sight of the issue.

You have to ask yourselves, how did We The People allow these signing statements?

Who was the first president to take advantage.

Is there a scoreboard as too how many each president has used his pen this way?

George Washington was the first President to use this power. Truman's seizure of steel plants was overruled by SCOTUS. So too can congress if it obtains a super-majority on the issue of an executive order
