Obama's actual legacy will be the complete breakdown of the separation of powers.

Obama actually averages the least number of executive orders per year since Grover Cleveland.

Executive orders aren't the problem. Bypassing the US system of government altogether and ratifying game-changing treaties and agreements through international law and the UN is the problem.

As is his attempt to unilaterally declare Congress in recess, but that was smacked down by the courts.

I think people in the future will care more about climate change.

Frodo, I thought you were a climate denier?

If President Obama is eroding the balance of power between the branches of government, the real culprit is the almost insane obstructionism that we have seen from Republicans in Congress since the beginning of his administration. 

Again, not liking the rules of the game doesn't mean you get to throw the Monopoly board on the floor and declare yourself monarch of Atlantic City and everyone is required to pay rent to you by divine right.

This is a country we're talking about, not a finksing Monopoly game.
