You must have failed the Civics class in high school. All Trump can do is sign an Executive Order. An EO only has the power to direct a gov't agency to do something. Those gov't agencies are officially under the Executive Branch - so he **is** the boss. An EO cannot "overturn legislation". Ex: Trump can't eliminate the useless Dept. of Education since Congress created it. But since the Dept. of Education is a gov't agency, he does have the power to defund it and get rid of people with in it. pF> Trump's attempts to circumvent laws passed under Obama.

It takes a lot of work to undo the total mess that the Elitists have created over the last few decades. And if he had an "obedient majority" why was the gov't shut down for over a month? ....
