I do not believe there is such a thing as a “permanent” executive order.

Makes me think of that old timey song, although changing one lyric, which goes like this:

“Anything you can do, I can Un-Do better.....I can Un-Do anything better than you....Oh no you can’t....oh, yes I can.....”

From “Annie Get Your Gun”.......maybe Trump will put this now very non-pc musical back on Broadway.......hmmmmm........calling LaPierre!....

Ok, so answer me this.... How and why is this guy a billionare? So he is in a lather about Offshore Drilling and ANWR etc places where the environment adds a ton of cost to extraction vs. on Terra Firma in the lower 48 via Fracking? Does he realize the other 2 may go away do to their expense?

I’d love having some offshore drilling platforms here in South East Florida. Great fishing platforms, just ask the folks near Mobile.

Obama to permanently ban offshore drilling in the Atlantic and Arctic using his executive authority.

That's the fatal flaw of executive authority - it only lasts so long as the executive has authority, and the POTUS' term is temporary. Sorry Charlie.

IIRC, isn’t the Italian oil company, Eni, drilling off the shore of Alaska...?

As of 2015: Hilcorp, Eni, BP, Repsol, ConocoPhillips Co. and Iona Energy Co. also currently own drilling rights in the United States’ portion of the Arctic.

He’ll look pretty foolish when Trump rescinds that EC on January 21st, 2017

Non, now, be fair! Obama has a lot of EOs on the books and Trump has a lot more things to do than to just undo the bad EOs. So it might take DJT to 01/31/17 for 'X'ing this one!

If something can be done by EO, it can be undone by EO. There is no issue here.
