US wars grounded in law, White House says

“Never before has an incoming president threatened such a large segment of our population with deportation, but you [President Obama] have the ability to act legally and irreversibly in their defense”, said Democratic Rep. He signaled there would be more of such intervention from the Oval Office, adding that “we’re going to have a lot of phone calls made to companies when they say they’re leaving this country, because they’re not going to leave this country”. “Filling boards and doing whatever he can to establish protections that Trump would have to unwind is a good strategy”.

It warned that Trump could either dissolve existing permits when he dismantles the executive order, or let them expire on their own.

Donald Trump, who campaigned on promises to deport the almost 11 million people in the country illegally, told Time magazine that he now wants to find a solution on immigration “that’s going to make people happy and proud”.

“Today’s terrorists can kill innocent people, but they do not pose an existential threat to our nation”.

In a presidential memorandum also slated to be issued Monday, Obama planned to call for the report to be updated and released publicly on an annual basis. Not one to relinquish the spotlight, Donald Trump laid out his vision for the American military and its role on the world stage during a Tuesday night stop on his “thank you” tour. Trump has said he plans to rescind the regulation.

Much of the counterterrorism mission is being carried out not by traditional ground troops who have traditionally done most of the fighting in US wars, but by commandos whose agility, advanced training and light footprint make them attractive for fighting in places where the USA doesn’t want to get bogged down.

President Barack Obama’s legal defense of some key initiatives including his signature healthcare law is collapsing as courts put cases on hold until after President-elect Donald Trump, hostile to the policies, assumes office on January 20.

The two men have been talking privately with each other since the election. Some are new appointments, some are renewals.

This hands-on presidential engagement – a carrot-and-stick deal similar to how Mr. Trump has operated in his successful real-estate empire – was quickly applauded by House Speaker Paul Ryan. Yet months later, Obama asked Congress to pass a new war powers resolution that could replace the outdated law and more specifically address the threat from groups like ISIS.

This isn’t the first time a president has left office by warning of a threat inside America – think of George Washington’s farewell speech advising against “entangling alliances”, or Dwight Eisenhower coining the now-famous term “military-industrial complex” in his closing speech.

Trump won’t be able to reverse Obama’s actions easily.

Sure he can change Obama’s executive actions with a quick stroke of the pen. Numerous appointments could outlast Obama and Trump because the terms are five to seven years and require Senate confirmation.

“What Obama can do for him is kind of help bring him up to date or help him understand what he’s gotten himself into”, Light said of Trump, who is 70.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to decide a major transgender rights case that hinges in part on the Obama administration’s policy position in support of a female-born transgender high school student named Gavin Grimm, who identifies as male and sued in 2015 to win the right to use the school’s boys’ bathroom.

Obama has claimed a turnaround by Israeli officials in the past.

“In the past couple of weeks we have seen Democrats in Congress stand up for DREAMers and DACA recipients. So explanations for why the United States is on the ground in Afghanistan, why it is providing support to the government in Somalia or Libya and launching airstrikes, things of that nature, and both explaining sort of how they go about prosecuting the use of force and the legal basis for it”.

In 2015, Trump said he would get rid of the program.
