Donald Trump will be walking into the Oval Office with expanded executive powers we haven't really seen before.
He's promised to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, get rid of many of the current environmental regulations and start the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants. And he can do all of that without any help from Paul Ryan in the House or Mitch McConnell in the Senate.

With a distaste for Congress — and in certain comments — the president-elect has made it pretty clear he's probably not opposed to skipping the legislative process and wielding executive power wherever he can.

And you can sort of thank these two guys: From President George W. Bush's warrantless eavesdropping to President Barack Obama's orders on illegal immigration, both have completely changed precedent on what a president can do on his own.
