Obama on 2016: Americans want 'that new car smell'

President Obama said Sunday that Americans will be looking for a fresh face in the next presidential election.

"They're gonna want that new car smell," he said in an interview with ABC's This Week. "You know, they wanna drive something off the lot that doesn't have as much mileage as me."

In the interview, Obama also defended his executive order on immigration, saying the move was well within his power. And he insisted he only acted alone because House Republicans refused to address the issue themselves.
