I don't hink there is any reason he couldn't do it with one order though "hereby suspend and revoke any Presidential directives betwee 1/21/2017 and ....."

The ones that change policy would be tricky since companies rely on the stability of the directives to function.

With the Mexico City Policy/Global Gag Rule that prevents any healthcare entity that receives any federal funding from even mentioning abortion even when the mother's life is in danger. Republicans always reinstate it first thing, and democrats get rid of it first thing.

I asked that here once and was told that the reversal could be challenged all the way to SCrOTUS where it would surely be overturned.

Mostly for not following procedure. So following procedure, our new professional administration should be able to do it, since they know what they are doing.
