My guess is that the choice is less between 'intelligent cuts versus across the board cuts' and 'reckless cuts versus no cuts at all.'Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-49180150715229773052017-01-23T21:56:56.989-05:002017-01-23T21:56:56.989-05:00He can't repeal by EO finalized regulations; t...He can't repeal by EO finalized regulations; that takes legislation by Congress, signed by the President. He can easily rescind all EOs with an EO.<br /><br />He also can't order the Cabinets or Agencies to repeal their regulations, that too takes legislation. I <i>think</i> Congress can, by resolution, rescind all finalized regulations if done within 60 days of finalization (although that may require the President's signature, too), and Congress already is working on a resolution to do this with the EPA's latest regulations.<br /><br />It also would be cleaner to have Congress repeal (with the President's signature) the regulations along your proposed ratio, or some such.<br /><br />What I'd rather see, though, is Congress pass legislation that sunsets all regulations, current and future: they automatically expire in, say, five years, unless explicitly reauthorized by new legislation (for perhaps an additional three year period). Here, the Senate's filibuster would become a powerful tool for preventing the willy-nilly reauthorization.<br /><br />Congress also needs to take steps to point out the utter stupidity of the <i>Chevron deference</i> foolishness of the Supreme Court and remind the Court of its place in the Federal hierarchy--which is not subordinate to the Executive Branch regulation writers.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-73352793775138045202017-01-23T19:41:47.389-05:002017-01-23T19:41:47.389-05:00I don't think much of across the board cuts in...I don't think much of across the board cuts in anything.
