Maybe they’ll set up tents on the White House lawns.

By the way, can anybody tell me if the power of the Executive Orders can be undone by Congress?

Or are we stuck with it/him for the duration?

And which president has the record for Executive Orders? Seems to me it’s a way for the president to by-pass congress.

Just wondering.

No, they’ll probably be placed in government-acquired foreclosed homes. You know... to better integrate them into our communities.

Yes it can, but the overwhelmingly DemonRat Congress is not about to undo anything The One, might do.
