EDIT:
With the legislature's backing I mean.
Thanks for the clairification though.
A president can have an adjenda to change and undo what previous presidents have done. They can take actions by executive orders, they can ask Congress to re-write laws to undo the changes, or they can push a changing by putting forward a legal challenge to the supreme court. Dont know if this has ever happened, but its possible..

False. They would need a veto-proof majority to change whatever obama passed, unless of course a republican wins in 2012 and republicans control both chambers of congress.
I don't know how many of you have worked for or with Govt---I'm gathering not too many, but I can tell you that once you get the ball rolling with implementing a Govt program, it is VERY DIFFICULT, if not impossible, to undo it. It morphs into something else, ammendments are slipped into bills, they become renamed, funded, and take on a life all their own. I think it was Ronald Reagan who once said "The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."
Under normal circumstances, only the legislature can change the law.
Which law would that be?
