No administration ever "reigns in" the powers of the administration. This is always a priority and talking point of the party out of power, regardless of party.

No administration ever "reigns in" the powers of the administration. This is always a priority and talking point of the party out of power, regardless of party. As soon as you are in power, you exploit and expand on the precedents set by the previous administration. The only very small exception I can even think of was Trump's one-in, two-out regulation policy [1].
