Ya think??

President Obama has some advice for President-elect Donald Trump: Do as I say, not as I do.

The outgoing president, in an interview with NPR, urged his successor to pursue policy changes through Congress and not via executive order.

The proper response is, "I'll strongly consider that just as soon as I reverse all these Obama executive orders. "

The hypocrisy from the left in this election is just mind blowing. The melt has been glorious and I am enjoying every second of it

But Executive Memoranda are just fine.

They are the same thing as Executive Orders

To be fair, Obama had a Republican Congress when he was signing all those executive orders, he really didn't have any choice as the Congress wouldn't allow any bills (or damn few) to get to the President's desk.

Trump will have a Republican Congress, and won't need to issue EOs - at least for the first two years.

BO had a dem congress the first 2 years. Also, so what?

That's supposed to be how the system works. Checks and balances.

I know this board is post facts and doesn't care about the truth. Obama issued fewer executive orders per year than Bush jr, reagan, ford, clinton, bush sr, carter, nixon,kennedy, ike and johnson.

You might want to do a bit of research and compare those executive orders in terms of scope and impact.

Right, that's why he didn't issue so many EOs during that time.

Are you saying EOs aren't a part of the system?

Maybe what Obama's telling Trump is that in the event Trump gets a Democratic Congress, don't do shite - just like the Republicans wanted him to do.

It doesn't matter. The Office of the Presidency is and was limited by our constitution.
Obama seized/borrowed power that wasn't his like a dictator does.

His administration was antipathy to rule of law.

It's funny how no one worries about it until a black man issues EOs.

W issued 291 EOs to Obama's 260. Where you crying about it then?
