Read about a new government initiative or program, and likely it's not coming from actions of Congress. More and more, federal policy is being established via executive order from the President, which more and more has left Congress as a legislative body on the sideline. For some insight into how we got here and what it could mean for future administrations, we bring in Joshua Spivak, senior fellow at the Hugh Carey Institution for Government Reform at Wagner College.
