Without a doubt he has set a new president that if you are POTUS, you can just decree things you want as long as you have the support.  The thing is he is only doing this because he knows congress will never get anything done themselves.

 

If we fix our congressional system then presidents will be less likely to go this route.

Any change done through executive orders like he's done will not result in meaningful and long lasting change since it can all just as easily be reversed by the next president. The reason why he didn't work with congress on things like immigration is because he would of had to comprimise on certain things in order to get it passed. That's the way it's supposed to work. Of course, extremely left-leaning bills won't go through congress when it's controlled by republicans but that's the party people wanted in control of congress. 

 

Congress flat out said they wouldn't work with him ever on anything (Because they were butthurt).  I mean then what would you do?  

If he broke laws, they should arrest/impeach.  Exept they can't, because he didn't technically, and they would never work together to get that done.
