这里的can是肯定句中表示可能性吗?

VOA:

We can be very confident that Joe Biden is going to come in with his guns blazing in terms of executive orders.

The first president George Washington issued the first of what were called executive orders.

1) 这里的can是肯定句中表示可能性吗?

2) 这里的what=the things that/which,what作call的宾语?executive orders是call的宾补吧? 那么这里的things应该用什么“合适的中文词”替代呢?

1 can在此不是表示可能性,而是表示客观条件允许。即客观条件决定了我们可以很有信心地认为...

2 what在此为融合型关系代词,引导名词性关系分句。what were called executive orders 可翻译为:所谓的形成命令。
