If the reverse were true and Obama and the Democrats held the House and Senate then held a special session to strip incoming President Trump of some of his powers Republicans would cancel Christmas, seal the borders, and revoke everyone's birthdays in a fit of rage.

Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval
Supported Bush?s unconstitutional Patriot Act
Ordered private company to fire 1,000 employees
Stole money from retired teachers and police officers
Fired Inspector General for discovering that Obama?s friend had embezzled government funds
Lied about letting people keep their health insurance
Lied about the cost of Obamacare
Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, and falsely claimed the money was for ?green energy?
Had armed SWAT agents raid a law-abiding guitar factory because it was owned by a Republican
Had ?off the record? meetings with lobbyists
Ignored constitutional requirements for appointees
Auctioned off ambassadorship to the Netherlands
Illegally demanded monetary payment for Freedom of Information Act request
Stole money from retired Delphi employees
Illegally gave Obamacare exemptions to unions that supported the passage of Obamacare
