Looks like FDR took Executive Orders to a new level! 3,728 in total over 12 years. Trump has 118 over 2.5 years and Obama had 276 over 8 years.[1]

FDR had both the Great Depression and World War II during his terms, of course.

The raw counts are unlikely to tell the full story, and I suspect Congress's ongoing ceding of power to the executive has reduced the quantity of them in normal practice as well.
