november 11, 2016 president-elect donald trump eyes ovala office with plans to erase barack obama<u+2019>s achievements 




president-elect donald trump was surprisingly gracious as he met president barack obama in the oval office on thursday but make no mistake: he is already working to erase major parts of obama<u+2019>s legacy from the history books. 




trump will be able to change some of obama<u+2019>s policies with a quick stroke of the pen. others will be much more difficult, requiring justification to pass legal hurdles or buy-in from lawmakers on capitol hill or foreign leaders. 




<u+201c>he can make a big difference at the outset of his administration, but it will take him years and support from dubious congressional factions and allies overseas to get a lot of other things done,<u+201d> said charles tiefer, former solicitor and deputy general counsel of the house of representatives and now a professor at the university of baltimore law school.
