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:
Just did a little review….and apparently there will be a freeze on all these till further notice…..our new guy not gonna get stuck with a pig in a poke as they say in the south
An executive order is not permanent, and it is not illegal. I miss him already.
Unilateral orders by the president are not permanent, and even laws have been overturned and constitutional amendments repealed by other amendments
Reversed with a stroke of trumps pen.
You can ban anything permanently
Obama does not hold that power only Congrass. Obama telling Trump not to over use his excutive power he has way over stepped his trying to make it hard for Donald Trump to undo the damage he (Obama ) has done. But e is forgetting one thing We control both the Senate and the House everything can be undone if it is illegal and most of his orders are in fact they all are so they can be overturn with one swipe of the pen
thats gone! LOL
Flush his$#%&!@*down the toilet where he belongs
So jail his butt already!
haha, he has NO POWER NOW, HE IS GONE and his laws can be dismantled, HEHEHE
Anything Obama has done by executive order, can be undone by executive order. Who is he kidding.
