US President-elect Donald Trump may reverse up to 70 percent of President Barack Obama’s executive orders, practically erasing the legacy of the first African-American head of state, Former House speaker Newt Gingrich told Fox.
Obama, who signed over 260 executive orders in his two terms in office, urged Trump, who will be inaugurated on January 20, not to circumvent Congress when trying to enact his agenda. Obama used his executive powers to push through labor, climate and immigration reforms after Congress refused to go along with his proposed programs.

It’s a good thing president-elect Trump is a workaholic. He’ll have all eight years repealed before breakfast on his first day. I love the fact he’s always wearing a suit and moving when he’s working. That’s the way I was taught an adult behaves at work.
You keep missing the point.
The issue is with YOU. All too ready to make excuses for the Republican’s failures. Maybe because you are accustomed to making excuses for your own personal failures in life? Could be. Maybe it seems normal to you.
I’m aware of the realities of Federal bureaucracy and how it works - or malfunctions rather.
Try to keep focused on the real issue instead of making strawman arguments. Your not convincing anyone and it makes you look, well, ignorant.
But take heart - ignorance is not a sin; but staying that way is. Merry Christmas comrade!
Don’t forget all those regulations from Zero’s ‘czars’...you know; Cass Sunstein and all the rest.
I have only profanity to describe that person.
How about 260 EXo’s to reverse those signed by Obama.
Then three more:
1. Reverse JFK’s EXo that allowed Federal workers to unionize.
2. Reverse Truman’s Exo that enable the CIA to be started. That would end the CIA as the monster it has become.
3. Sign a new Exo to establish a replacement for the CIA that would limit to collection of foreign intel and no more of the bs they have done the last 5 decades.
That would be a clear message by Trump to the rats in DC and Congress not to $crew around with him and his cabinet people.
“All too ready to make excuses for the Republican’s failures.”
And where might I ask did I cite “failures”?
I said, for the 100000th time, that people that expect the GOP to ram through the entirety of all of the stuff every group wants reversed or passed in a unrealistically SHORT time frame need to BACK UP and realize that Trump DOES NOT HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY in congress and will, due to an obvious Democrat opposition machine, face delays due to congressional procedures that they will use (just like the GOP used) to slow certain items. They will also have RINOs like Graham, McCain, McConnell, and a few others, making trouble and using their leverage to muck stuff up.
Any person with 2 minutes of knowledge on how Congress works KNOWS THIS.
some things will get though fast, some things WONT. My point is that some of you need to understand that the workings of Congress will slow some things and that you need to be patient on certain items because there is no way you can just shove it though no matter how much you “demand”.
But there seems to be a contingent of you that are wholly ignorant of this basic knowledge and instead think tossing out stupid statements like this:
“Maybe because you are accustomed to making excuses for your own personal failures in life? Could be. Maybe it seems normal to you.”
Is a substitute for you not realizing that you have no damn idea what you are talking about.
Maybe it is normal for you to shoot off your moth in your normal life, but in the political arena NO ONE CARES how big your mouth is because it isn’t going to make reality go away.
Now do you have anything of substance to add to make a coherent case that what I said is not based in factual reality, or do you have more smug smart-ass comments?
I’m more than glad to hear how from someone with a clue. Because “your not convincing anyone and it makes you look, well, ignorant”.
I saved that photo. There’s a new Sheriff in town.
Move aside.
I am trying to figure out how 30% of his EO’s are good?
You just KNOW Jughead Hussein is reading this and seething with rage right now...
Frank Capra was right... It Really IS “A Wonderful Life”...
From your pages to God’s ear, RT.
Newt sure loves to talk.
He’s a bit like McCain in that respect.
Stick a mic in his face and act like you’re hanging on his every word and sooner or later he’ll say something that maybe he should’ve sat on for a couple more weeks.
Smart guy but loves the sound of his own voice just a bit too much.
It’s a good start.
Good.
“Pen and a phone” rules can be reversed with a pen and a phone ...
Obama is half African AND half white American, not quite the same as African-American. The liar knows nothing of the problems of American blacks except what was told him. He is a FAKER. There is no history of slavery in his background, his family SOLD slaves.
Of course, if the birth certificate is fake than maybe he is
His most permanent stain on the country was Kagan and the Wise Latina. Maybe they could be sent to Uranus to teach libtardism to space penguins.
Was there a time when BO didn’t act like a petulant child?
Never forget that Trump’s unpopularity with the GOPe was a big part of the reason that he won. In fact, said unpopularity made all the difference in at least three states— Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
you would think the punk would have grown the hell up a little in the past 8 years.
Seems he is more so.
I’ve already stated I’m well aware of the realities inside that Beltway. More than once.
But you’re bent on twisting my words to make it seem otherwise. And by the way, you are the one ‘shooting your mouth off’ as you continue to obfuscate my point.
So, I’ll be cashing out today to pocket the first fruits of the Trump phenomenon, as the market approaches 20,000. This promises to be a very, very happy new year!
Therefore, I am unable to continue this meaningful dialogue with you as I’ve more important and enjoyable things to do with my time and money. Hope you’ll do the same.
Good luck to you and yours in 2017, and get ready as the Second American Revolution shifts into high gear...
