One executive order cancels another

No matter what, the future is here, and President Trump is one by one by scratching those Obama executive orders.

At this pace, President Obama's résumé will be a total blank under "accomplishments." It will simply say he was inaugurated in 2009, was re-elected in 2012 and left office in 2017. There will be very little in between because he did so much by executive order rather than laws passed by Congress. "The 'Blank' Presidency" may be the title of a future book about this time in office.

You know it’s not that simple.

You’d be defending against 500 lawsuits at once. And in many cases you need to provide direction.

It is good to have a president who can turn back the ratchet of government power. For far too long the best we have been able to hope for from Republicans has been to stop turning the wrench leftward (or even worse, just turn it more slowly than the Dems do). Now we are finally turning it back.

Even when a Democrat gets in charge again it will take a while to turn it back to 2016 levels of government. Now if the uniparty in Congress will start repealing laws...

Not so fast, he successfully wrecked healthcare and thanks to the GOP Trump can't undo that. So he'll still go down in history for that.

I must be missing something. Can't everyone agree that the only way to restore Constitutional law in terms of legislation is to cancel ALL of Obama's illegal EOs? Then, DC pols can go the legal way....either pass laws about those issues, or not.

It seems a big part of the problem is that the Legislative Branch of DC gov got lazy and dysfunctional during Obama's presidency.

The liberals are still in complete denial. Most of them; a few have woken up.

On ultra-liberal Yahoo, there are some that figured out Hillary but they’ll still defend Obama.

Their brain juice moves slowly, it appears. /big surprise

I just can’t believe how many finally figured out Hillary.

Well, it’s a start. A little late, but a start. Well, a LOT late. 8 years of Obama did a lot of damage.

And the liberals STILL can’t figure out that even the funding for that disaster cannot endure. Because they listen to “smart guys” - like Jimmy Kimmel.

Except for doubling the National Debt!

[Except for doubling the National Debt!]

The disease that cannot be undone. Unfortunately.

The MSM will blame the Trump administration (liberals will believe it, too) for the deficit which spiraled under Obama. Frankly, I knew we were in huge trouble before that when the U.S.A. was borrowing from China for nation-building trying to create free states deep inside the muslim world.

And Obama more than double-down on the preceding deficit. It’s just a matter of time.

The undocumented Marxist prezbRo had a commie dream.
Time to wake up now...time to get back to the Constitutional Republic and the rule of law kiddies.

Now that’s just weird. Having to write an EO to cancel an EO that wasn’t constitutional in the first place.
>>
Yep - a sad reality. Reminds me of a few years ago when our feckless “representatives” wanted to pass a Bill saying they would enforce the laws against sanctuary cities.

Trump only has to do this because the Congress aided and abetted Obama’s illegal power grabs and there needs to be someone with the balls to put his foot down and say, “No more - not on my watch”

Every time President Trump cancels an illegal EO with one of his own, he convicts the GOPe RINOs as much as he does Obama.

Don’t mince words, FRiends. We haven’t been a Republic, let alone a Constitutional one, for some time. So why sweat it?

- EOs w/ the force of law
- bureaucracy (illegal abdication) writing rules/regs w/ the force of law
- judicial usurpation

And each branch giving the next a reach-around while they raid the Treasury, trample our Rights and sell-out our Sovereignty.

Who says crime doesn’t pay...

Anyone who knows that only the House appropriates funding knew Obama’s subsidies were illegal.

Obama also allegedly robbed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage giants to fund Obamacare, in addition to robbing Medicare of $700 BILLION, and God knows what else.

That like the criminal complaining to the cops someone stole his loot?

They are ALL *ILLEGAL*. So what matters the right pocket pays the left?

Ha! Why stop @ Zero’s Presidency? Were EOs Constitutional prior (hint: only when they pertained to the Executive and didn’t attempt to re-write Law or skirt the same).

Judiciary, Legislative and State govt were ALL complacent and complicit

😡. Hell, simple rules, regs and edicts from govt agencies somehow carry the weight of law and the lib courts have backed them. Heck, even scotus in some instances.
