POTUS is not all powerful, and some of his campaign promises/hopes require cooperation from others that he has not been able to achieve yet. I hope he learns how to gain that cooperation, and has not stepped on so many toes that no one in Washington will help him.
He has a lot of power when it comes to regulatory rules and regulations. Some of the most operessive rules made by the COE and Post office were made, not legislatured, but by the stroke of the pen. He probably wouldn't even need to sign a real executive order. A public verbal suggestion would likely be enough to get the ball moving, as they say crap rolls down hill. He has said a lot about how he supports the NRA, but not much about real things that would change the anti-climate in goverment agencies.
