President Obama “is considering a series of new executive actions aimed at working around a recalcitrant Congress, including policies that could allow struggling homeowners to refinance their mortgages, provide new protections for gays and lesbians, make buildings more energy-efficient and toughen regulations for coal-fired power plants,” the Washington Post reports.
“The moves underscore Obama’s increasingly aggressive use of executive authority, including 23 administrative actions on gun violence last month and previous orders that delayed deportations of young illegal immigrants and will lower student loan payments.”

“This is what ‘Forward’ looks like. Fast forward, even. President
Barack Obama’s campaign slogan is springing to life in a surge of
executive directives and agency rule-making that touch many of the
affairs of government.”
