#1 I don't see how they can limit Trump's authority without an Constitutional admendment.

Not to mention Trump could simply invoke Obama's example and ignore the laws he doesn't like.

#11 Alexander, Collins, Hatch, Murkowski, maybe Corker, Ernst, Fischer, McConnell, Rubio, Roberts or Toomey. Probably missed some.
House will be a lot tougher though.

#14 As a signing statement I believe this should be entirely ignored except for the part that states Senator Dianne Feinstein should be forced to wear clown shoes and a rubber nose and glasses while working in the Senate.
