One Thing I Forgot to Ask on "Crossfire"

During his time on Bill Clinton's staff, Paul Begala boasted to the New York Times of Clinton's ability to bypass Congress and make law via executive orders: "Stroke of the pen. law of the land. Kinda cool." This is exactly how the United States has come to have over 200 official languages, thanks to Clinton Executive Order 13166. Begala's remarks during my "Crossfire" segment indicate his support for E.O. 13166, but I never put him on the spot for a "yes" or "no".
