Understand that Reid's Senate was the least productive in American history. He held in his desk, more than 340 bills sent to the Senate from the House. These legislative actions had passed the House. Reid chose to not put them into committee, effectively killing most of the House's legislation without ever seeing a Senate floor discussion.
The bad news for Obama's "legacy" is the fact that 80% of his so-called "accomplishments" or legacy, was not the product of legislation. Trump, for the most part, can take down these "legacy items" with the stroke of the pin, and do so legally.
