It’s strange that a president who had such a transformative effect on our national discourse will leave such a negligible policy legacy. But Barack Obama, whose imperial term changed the way Americans interact and in some ways paved the way for the Trump presidency, is now watching his much-celebrated and mythologized two-term legacy be systematically demolished. This, in many ways, tells us that American governance still works.
When President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, he was able to do so without much difficulty because the agreement hinged on presidential fiat rather than national consensus. Obama’s appeasement of Iran was only one in a string of unilateral norm-busting projects that deserve to be dismantled.
As we now see, this kind of governance not only corrodes constitutional order but also undermines stability, as new presidents busy themselves overturning the executive actions and international agreements enacted by the previous. While most Americans aren’t sticklers for process, it seems they are content with destroying legacies built on the rickety foundation of unilateralism for political reasons.
That’s fine, too. It means that if Trump engages in similar legislative efforts through the executive office, his agenda will also be dismantled one day. That’s as it should be.

And Woodrow Wilson - of the three evil constitutional amendments adopted under his rule, we were only able to get rid of one (18th - Prohibition). We need to get rid of 16 (income tax) and 17 (direct election of senators) as well.
The Kenyanesian Usurper was never eligible to be President.
Children of foreign nationals born with multiple citizenships, divided loyalties and allegiances are exactly who the founders were excluding with the natural born citizen requirement.
The only way one is naturally an American is when they cannot be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Unfortunately Obama most destructive cultural legacy will most likely remain intact - the normalization and mainstreaming of perversions such as homosexuality and transgenderism and the resulting further erosion of the family and bastardization of the language.

Remember to add Bobbie Jindal, Marco Rubio and the up and coming Kamala (one of the 40% of Democrats who are Socialists according to Hillary Clinton) Harris to your list.
All of them are glorified (legal) Anchor Babies.
Ted Cruz, George P. Bush, Nikki Haley.
Both parties want to do away with the protections of the natural born citizen requirement.
Of course it needs to be destroyed, that’s why Trump is doing it.
