Stewart: Obama Isn’t Using Executive Powers Unusually, Even Reagan Made a Deal with Iran

‘Is President Obama using executive agreement in an excessive or unusual manner?’

STEWART: "Are you sure this is okay? The pillow looks pretty expensive, I just -- oh! Oh! That is embroidered! Whoa! I guess the real question here is context! What is the context? Is President Obama using executive agreement in an excessive or unusual manner? Well the answer to that appears to be no (bleep) way. Ronald Reagan, peace be upon him, signed over 1,500 executive agreements including a nuclear deal with China and a hostage deal with -- oh, how do I pronounce this -- I-ran, Iran! I wonder if that Iran is the one related what Obama is dealing with? I'm sure it's common in that part of the world. I know Reagan wouldn't deal with such a loathsome regime. So I'm pretty clear the president is within his constitutional prerogative."
