He's still gunning for the closure of Guantanamo, and part of the reason he vetoed NDAA 2016 was because it restricted his ability to do so.
While no big overhaul of taxes is likely with divided government, some proposals of his from SOTU might get through: raising the child tax credit, the second earner credit, eliminating the current tax treatment of student loan forgiveness, and expanding the EITC.
Once the window for pubic review of the TPP closes in January or February (?), Congress might take it up and pass it, though most likely they will wait until after the November 2016 elections to pass it during lame duck and not have to worry about the elections.
He said he'll sign the America Gives More Act of 2015 if Congress resubmits it with budget offsets.
That's really all I can think of in terms of specific legislation. Mostly he'll be focusing on making sure that Hillary, not Trump, is his successor. Continuing to bomb ISIS will also be a priority, as will making sure the economy weathers an increasingly choppy outlook for 2016.
