ELI5: What can Obama do before he leaves the presidency?

I mean, what can he do (within his power) before leaving and have that decision to stick even with incoming President, Senate, House or Supreme Court?

What are his extend of powers?

Nothing beyond his current Article 2 authorities. And that's the point. Imagine 4 or 8 years from now... would you want the outgoing president to have unlimited, autocratic power? Peaceful transitions of power are essential to our nation. Those unhappy with the result of the election get another chance to vote for a president in 4 years. And, get another crack at shaping Congress in 2 years. Maybe it's going to be a wild ride. Or, maybe nothing of consequence will happen. Who knows. 

Edit: Other posters mention Executive Order. They do have the force of law, but only after they are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. That takes a lot longer than 60 days.
