I don't think we want to live in a country where each president can erase all actions of the prior executive. That's essentially what we got away from in 1776.

Those that want Trump to have expansive powers or extra terms need to remember that the same powers would then also be wielded by a very socialist, freedom hating president somewhere down the road.
