Well, indulge me. Tell what he can do about abortion and gay marriage, which seems to be left's major concerns about him.

I'm thinking not a whole lot. About all I can think of off the top of head is bringing back the former military policy of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. Personally I think that highly unlikely. (Imagine trying to reinstall DADT after everybody's already told. How do you 'untell'?). Perhaps there's something about abortion he could on the marginal edges of it, but I can't think of anything.

BTW: I do trust you on this. I'm thinking you know much more about than I about exec orders and the like.

He already mentioned SCOTUS appointments.

It doesn't matter, though. Who votes for someone who has stupid ideas just because there is a good chance he can't enact his stupid ideas?

I prefer not to worry about things that can't possibly happen.

E.g., I see people worry that abortion would become illegal. A President can't do jack about that. SCOTUS has already it unconstitutional to make it illegal. Some may fear Santorum's appointments to the SCOTUS, if there even are any, might cause a reversal. I don't believe that will happen, even if it did it wouldn't make it illegal. It would merely make a state able to do so if it wished. I don't think that would happen either, and I say that as someone who lives in the South.

But otherwise, I'm under the assumption that Eski knows quite a bit about exec orders and such. I'm honestly curious about what he thinks a President could do with those powers.

This is my favorite quote so far of this election.
