2:34Now PlayingPresident Obama has some advice for his successor — don't strike out on your own.
Obama turned to executive actions on a number of big issues — like labor, climate and immigration — where Congress blocked his agenda. It's something Republicans have decried. Some call the president "lawless" for going around the legislative branch.
In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, Obama made it clear it's not the approach he preferred. "My suggestion to the president-elect is, you know, going through the legislative process is always better, in part because it's harder to undo," Obama said.
It's a lesson that must be weighing on his mind, as Trump's incoming administration has vowed to reverse many of the steps Obama took through executive order and administrative rules.
