The Administration appears to have a “Scorched Earth” policy on the way out the door.
To: Innovative
He can. They have no authority to do what they are doing

This might work:
Little-noticed law gives Trump unexpected power to undo the mischief of bureaucrats
Law was passed in the '90s at Gingrich's urging. In recent years the Republican Congress has tried using it against Obama's regulations -- but it has always been vetoed by Obama.
Soon we'll have a president who won't veto the regulatory roll-back. He should add a little smiley-face after his signature ... just to stick it to the bureaucrats.

Probably don’t even need it.

Of course he can. Obama can slam the door all he wants, Trump can just open it again.

The Administration appears to have a Scorched Earth policy on the way out the door. Oh well as long as they don't pull all the D&T keys off the computer keyboards.

There is another factor to be taken into consideration. The Alaska Pipeline must have enough oil flowing through it so that it can function despite the cold outside temperatures. As the present wells are depleted, if new wells don’t come online, the pipeline will have operational problems. So there must be a certain amount of oil available to pump. Below that, none can get pumped.

Trump will open that door up again. With explosive charges, so the door is blown off of its hinges, and the frame disintegrates.
Barky will be just a (very) bad memory before long.

So they can’t drill until the sun rises again in the Arctic, sometime after January 20.

Obama going for broke. Guess that recent pep talk from NWO Angela Merkle helped Oboe from Nairobi stay the course.

Obama anything you do, Trump will reverse with one EO and rightfully so.
You are nothing any more Obama but dust in the waste bin of history and rightfully so.

Even though calling it a "5 year plan" harkens back to imagery from a happier time for Stalinists everywhere; it should be really called an “eight week plan”. That is approximately how long it will be before Trump takes office and sends these idiots packing.
With shock labor we will ensure prompt delivery of the giants of the Five Year Plan 1931

That petty little man in the White House continues to thumb us in the eye on his way out. I’m sure President Trump knows exactly what to do about it, too.
