If the President wants to accomplish anything in his second term -- which is the point of holding the office -- than he still needs to maintain popular support. The public can't (generally) vote him out of office any more, but they can vote out his allies in the House or local/state government.

Unless the President is just hoping to shut everything down. Almost by definition he can do that without cooperation.
