59. Six months is too long.
Wed Jan 4, 2017, 04:55 PM
Jan 2017

The thing that sucks is in six months when they put up their "replacement" which will be named the HealthCare Freedom Act and will entitle citizens "the right to buy any plan they want so long as they can afford it! Huzzah!" and the Democrats vote against it, the Pubes will try to tar and feather them "So you don't want people to have freedom to buy health care! People are dying fast you must approve this!! Don't you love America and/or Freedom??"

He can repeal any of the parts implimented by Ezecutive Order. That is the thing about EO's kelly1mm Jan 2017 #30
When you govern by Executive Order then you should be prepared for those EO's to be tossed kelly1mm Jan 2017 #22
