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.

What about the remaining executive orders?

Are they of an innocuous nature?

That will still leave 30% of the Obomination’s legacy in place. Incrementalism.

Erase them all. If they are so good, ask Congress to instead pass them as laws.

Congress will repeal the executive orders with reasonable laws that are more difficult to change in the future and hold automatic impeachment proceedings for any president that violates them.

70% in the first month. The other 30% might take six months.

Obama, who signed over 260 executive orders in his two terms in office, urged Trump...not to circumvent Congress when trying to enact his agenda.

Is that not what the little king did himself?

How about having patience?

He isn’t dictator, and we didn’t send him a super majority.

“......practically erasing the legacy of the first African-American head of state,”

Obviously the motivation is race.

BO warns DJT “not circumvent Congress”?? Circumventing Congress and the will of the American people is the sine qua non of BO. This from the narcissist in chief, who I seriously doubt could give you the phone number for anyone on Capitol Hill, from either party.
