14. The first thing that popped into my head after reading your post is for him to stand

at the Bully Pulpit, be that press conference or nationally televised talk....to INFORM his supporters of how bills are being moved through the US House of Reps.

Voters need to know how the issues that speak directly to their best interests are being supported or NOT, by the US House of Reps.

He can use the Bully Pulpit to speak directly to obstructionism and then....campaign for those candidates who will replace the obstructionists.
