Trump to 'repeal a lot' of Obama's actions on day one, top aide says
2017-01-02
[CNN] President-elect Donald Trump plans to repeal a raft of President Barack Obama's executive actions in his first day in office, Trump's incoming White House press secretary said Sunday.

Sean Spicer, Trump's incoming White House press secretary, said on ABC's "This Week" that Trump will immediately "repeal a lot of the regulations and actions that have been taken by this administration over the last eight years that have hampered both economic growth and job creation."
I would have a group of people looking over every regulation and order that Obumble did and most likely repeal 99% of them.
It was one of two moves Spicer said Trump will make immediately after he takes the oath of office.

He didn't specify which executive actions Trump will repeal.

However, Trump has long been critical of Obama's moves on immigration, energy regulation and foreign policy, and could look for ways to undo those and other actions.

Spicer also said Trump will begin reforms intended to "bring a new brand to Washington" with a restriction on members of his administration becoming lobbyists for a period of five years after they leave Trump's government.

"It's very forward-thinking," Spicer said. "What we've had in the past is people who have looked in the rearview mirror. This time, we're thinking forward. If you want to serve in a Trump administration, you're going to serve this country, not yourself."

#9  It's very simple, unions among government employees denote an attempt to hold our government hostage. Government unions should be considered terrorists and treated as such.

#4  Then once it's signed, Obama's legacy is almost erased.

The one that will be the hardest to erase is all the hacks he's added to the Federal payroll, which was in the vicinity of 1/2 million the last I checked.

#3  He just needs one, revoking all EO's over the past 8 years. Then Congress needs a one page bill stating that all laws signed by Obama are hereby repealed and therefore null and void. Then once it's signed, Obama's legacy is almost erased.

#2  All Trump has to do on day one is place all those EOs on hold "for review." Some of those "reviews" can take a long time and there are so many of them to do...
