They should use their control of congress to freeze the president’s agenda. It takes both houses to pass a law; without the House they can’t push anything through.

So freeze everything. In fact, whatever the senate does, they should not allow one piece of the president’s legislation to see the light of day in the House.

And they should de-fund everything that has been pushed through over the last two years.

We are in revolutionary times; we have a president that doesn’t believe in the constitution and is prepared to rule without lawful authority. Nothing he wants should get passed through the House and nothing he wants should get funding.

Yeah, that's what the Republicans said they were going to do to Obama's plans for Don't Ask, Don't Tell, START, the Dream legislation...

Republicans really gave the Democrats the most “productive”
lame duck session ever, didn’t they.

Let’s see if they have the guts to follow your scenario.

I should think the latter of your focus would be most effective as Obama seems willing to circumvent the Congress readily by using regulatory agencies to achieve his goals, therefore defunding them should I believe be the priority.

Bingo. We can and should kill every piece of legislation that enters the house. This is the most divided America we have seen since the 1960s if not the civil war and the congress should be reflective of that.
