Obama kind of had to use the "pen and the phone" to try to get things done because Congress was uncooperative.
But the downside is that the policies made by the executive branch are not durable. As quickly as they are put in place, they can be taken away.
If I were negotiating with the US (North Korea for example), there's no way I'd settle for anything less than a Congress approved agreement
