re: “ But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.”
I don’t like “executive orders” generally because presidents use them when they can’t get congress to do what they want, thus often circumventing the Constitution.
But, in the case of a government regulatory bureaucracy that has no Constitutional authority for its existence, I have no problem with the president issuing an order to that particular department to cease and desist in regard to a particular act or actions that department is attempting to implement.
All Romney has to do is to issue an order to stop those regulations from being implemented.
Regulatory powers belong to the Executive. Every piece of legislation gives the Executive some level of regulatory power. There are often disputes about whether the Executive has exceeded its powers, but there is no question that a regulation made by the Executive can be undone by the Executive. All that is required is the political will. Hopefully we’ll soon find out if President Romney has the will to reign in the bloated, partisan bureaucracy - much of which survived 8 years of Bush Jr. and grew ever more huge, powerful and radical under Obama.
it would not be Very Hard if the GOP didn’t run scared from the MSM and the rest of the Rats
PS. The people of West Virginia seem to have figured this out. Let’s see if the message gets through to coal country in Ohio and Pennsylvania. What part of “you are going to be out of a job” do they not understand?
