Do you think that US Presidents named all of the other geographic features in the country by Executive Order? This is unusual and unprecedented at best.

    I agree. It is unprecedented (and stupid), yet he did do it. As far as I know executive orders has been used as a do anything tool, so why would this specific thing cross the line?

    Executive orders are a ridiculous and undemocratic notion to begin with, but the US does have them (together with Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines).
