Happy obamacare is going away; not so happy about the continued use of "executive orders". These may as well be edicts. Executive orders are there to fill in the gaps in legislation, not dictate whatever the president wants to do.
While Obama did set a bad precedent, that doesn't give everyone else free reign to repeat it. This is what the legislative branch of our government is for.
if it needs to be repeated to fix the damage I don't see the problem. Obomber ran roughshod over the constitution the American people and our government when trump is signing an executive order unrelated to fixing that maybe you'd be saying something worth listening to but otherwise I think he should do whatever is necessary to clean up the messes obongo left him
that's not how the slippery slope works in either the concept or fallacy. The laws have been damaged by the previous administration so first we need to repair them and the respect for them. Humans protect the law because law creates order and order allows society to function and society allows Humans to live

Slippery slope. Follow the laws and we won't get ourselves into this mess again.

Stop using that phrase. Contrary to the legal precedent set in Recess Law, two wrongs can make a right.
We're still in the first mess. We have to get out of the first mess. And that first mess is currently codified in law.
