Obama warns Trump not to overuse executive orders

With about one month to go before he leaves office, President Barack Obama gave some exit interview-type advice to his successor Donald Trump: Don't rely too heavily on executive orders.

In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep on Thursday that aired in its entirety Monday on Morning Edition, Obama said it's preferable to work with Congress.


"Keep in mind, though, that my strong preference has always been to legislate when I can get legislation done," Obama said from the Cabinet Room in the White House. "In my first two years, I wasn't relying on executive powers, because I had big majorities in the Congress and we were able to get bills done, get bills passed. And even after we lost the majorities in Congress, I bent over backwards consistently to try to find compromise and a legislative solution to some of the big problems that we've got — a classic example being immigration reform, where I held off for years in taking some of the executive actions that I ultimately took in pursuit of a bipartisan solution — one that, by the way, did pass through the Senate on a bipartisan basis with our help."

In 2014, Obama signed executive orders that shielded millions living in the country illegally from deportation.

The 44th president is aware that the executive orders by the 45th president can undo his achievements over eight years in office...       :tongue2:

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington

Amazing!  I agree with Obama in general on this!  Trump should not overuse executive orders.  In fact, he should issue two immediately upon taking office:

Trump E.O. #1 - All Executive Orders issued during the previous eight years are hereby declared null and void.

Trump E.O. #2 - All succeeding Executive Orders issued will be for the purpose of defining the proper implementation of laws passed by the Congress of the United States and signed by the President of the United States, or re-passed by the Congress after a presidential veto.  Any other Executive Order shall be subject to judicial review and if found to exceed the authority of the President shall be null and void.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!
