We complain about the imperial Presidency and then we are supposed to act as if we want it for our team?

The next President doesn’t have the power to cancel laws that were passed by Congress unilaterally.

If you listen to the speech, he was referring to Obama’s Czars. THEN congress goes into session to repeal ObamaCare, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.

“The next President doesn’t have the power to cancel laws that were passed by Congress unilaterally.”

He never said that - he talked about enlisting Congress (hopefully more conservative House and Senate) to repeal those laws.

GeronL: “The next President doesn’t have the power to cancel laws that were passed by Congress unilaterally.”

Maybe you should listen to his speech before commenting?

He does have the power to fire every stinking assed Czar Obama put in place, to cancel every Executive order, to replace the a-holes at EPA with his own people and cancel the regulatory rules that are killing America.

Cancel laws??? Ha Laws are not what are killing us,It’s the Czars and regulations.

However, THIS president has busted the Constitution and by-passed the Congress so many times in putting much of it in place....

Agreed we need someone who will adhere to what the Founders built, but I see nothing wrong in using the same tactic to mitigate the harm as was used to implant the harm.

The biggest difference will be that if Newt does anything 1/10th as much as Obama, the MSM and the Left will screech bloody murder - where was the Right and the MSM all this time?

No, but he has the power to reverse or eliminate executive orders, and most of the damage done by fubo came from executive orders.

I agree, however most of the mandates issued by the current administration have been policy directives by Obama. That which is created by decree can be removed by decree. Issuing Executive Orders to revoke previous Executive Orders can be done with a stroke of a pen.
