President Obama is using his executive powers once again before he leaves office.
FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:

In a last ditch effort to save his environmental legacy, President Obama announced a sweeping ban on offshore drilling across large swaths of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. ?
The ban, announced in conjunction with the Canadian government, revives a 1953 provision that allows the President to ban offshore leases in the outer Continental Shelf permanently. ?
Although the move uses executive powers, environmental groups are hoping it will be difficult for President-elect Donald Trump to reverse the ban. The American Petroleum Institute says there’s no such thing as a permanent ban.
