Time's running out.
As much as it infuriated conservatives - as well as just people who care about the constitutional separation of powers - that Barack Obama governed so much by executive orders and administrative rulemaking in his second term, it does come with a gigantic silver lining: Anything Obama did by executive order, Donald Trump can now undo in the same way.
Assuming Trump actually wants to, it will be much easier for him to defenestrate the administrative state than it will to push new legislation through Congress.
I still say Trump may keep this rule to placate his ex-Democrat union supporters in the Rust Belt.
