#3 While I'm all for erasing Obama's policies on pretty much everything Trump will have to be careful how he does it.

If you spill wine on your rugs you have to remove the stains without bleaching out the rug itself, same thing with graffiti on the walls can't just use a blow torch to burn it off.

#4 without saying who would determine their constitutionality.

Excuse me? The answer is blindingly obvious - the same position that determined their constitutionalality when imposed. The President.

I disagree. Everyone of Obama's overreaches and unconstitutional EO's and directives needs to erased, I don't care if they get blow torched.

I agree! Careful lest he forget any.

Of course one can always simply move.
Why would Trump downsize to the WH when he could move staff, et. al. to the tower in NYC?

One doesn't need to live with wine stains and burned walls.

#8 Rarely has Trump railed against big government. It seems the primary object of his rancor has been incompetence - or stupid as likes to say. It's hard to imagine that he will reverse actions that may someday limit his power. We can hope.

#9 Trump needs a shovel and a wet vac to clean up Obumble's legacy.

#10 Trump will need the rivers Alpheus and Peneus.

#11 Trump will need hazmat gear to clean out the White House.

As far as house and senate so-called leaders Paul and Mitch go, they need to go. They are part of the problem. We need leaders, not weasel manipulators. If we don't drain the swamp, we will be back to where we started or worse.

#12 Careful! Drain that too much swamp and Mitch et alia would have no soothing mud pools to lay about in. /s

Who am I trying to kid. Drain it and burn it out with napalm. We'll work on glassing it over later. Not one shred of his EO's should remain.

#14 I'm all for removing any trace of Obama's "legacy" BUT some of his atrocities were layered on some things (like the constitution) which shouldn't be destroyed in the process. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath-water.

#15 As a companion project to "THE WALL" I would like to see the houses of congress moved to, or near to,
the geographic center of the US. Leave the museums and art galleries where they are, thereby creating both a tourist center and a legislative center.

#16 If one were to move the Houses of Congress to another location, along with the diffrent Departments they should be moved to the single most environmentaly unncomfortable place in the country. Hotter than hell in summer, blue balls cold in winter. Rainy, wet and humid in spring and fall. With no air conditioning and central heating allowed in government offices and the congressional/senate chambers. If the place is too bad and all legislative/policy has to conducted in this location then maybe, just maybe on the rare occasion congresscould actually convene they might try and get something done just so they could get the hell out. Maybe two locations. Summer in a swamp down South. Winters in say Nome.

As to EOs. I for one have never understood just how they can be constitutional in the first place.

#17 And lend a bit of damn urgency to running the country. The UK House of Commons does not have near enough seats for all its members, so when something is really happening you gotta get there early or be Winston Churchill or its SRO, lends an air of importance to the proceedings. The HOC has significantly less scmoozing in the aisles, want to talk, hit the cloakroom and have a double.
