When Donald Trump secured the Republican nomination, Barack Obama probably thought that his legacy was secure. The man everyone said could not win was going up against Hillary Clinton, the woman who pledged to keep Obama’s legacy intact.
Unfortunately for Obama, almost everyone got it wrong. Donald Trump won big in November, and now eight years of Obama-era regulations are set to be dismantled under the new president-elect.
But Obama isn’t giving up. Despite having warned Trump to not over-use executive orders, the lame duck president is now using all the power at his disposal to keep Trump from undoing his fragile legacy.
Obama’s latest last-minute power-grab has to do with offshore drilling. Trump may have campaigned on a promise to make America more energy independent, but if Obama gets his way, he may not be able to.
See how he’s trying to keep Trump from drilling for oil off the American coastline on the next page:
Nothing is permanent.
That permanent ban will last as long as he has in office . Why would you even hype this ?
Every document signed by Obama without Congress approval is undone as of the 20th. Executive orders are over once the executive has vacated the position. So his signature is about as useless as$#%&!@*on a boar hog.
Jim, you don’t have to hold back, now. Give it all you got, unless you don’t have time and need to get back to work.
You are so full of it. Sit down and be quiet . Talk about f**e news and f**e facts. Such utter nonsense!
Trina Catania such nonsense. See a shrink.
What one President “dictates”, another can reverse!
If it’s the pen, it’s reversible. The congress signed none of it.
Really…dude must didn’t get the memo…lol
Ha ha ha, “permanent”
