They're the opposition party. They disagree with him about what is necessary to "right the ship," and of course they will exercise what powers they have to oppose him pursuing policies that they disagree with. - albaby

I see a distinction here,

"theywill exercise what powers they have to oppose him pursuing policies that they disagree with". If "they" mean the opposition party in congress, then no problem.

However, if "they" includes opposition party operatives, working diligently, often covertly, from within the Executive to undermine a duly elected president, well, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.
