To reform the process by which Federal agencies analyze and formulate new regulations and guidance documents.

Waste of time. Agensies already do not follow the rules and laws. EPA and IRS will just through it in the trash like they did with the Constitution. Laws like this one do not matter any more.
It is so ambiguous in its language that its hard to determine exactly what the act is designed for. If I’m understanding it correctly it appears to be an act that reins in the development of regulations that would impact the economy. I could be completely wrong but that’s what I think I read. Damn lawyerspeak. I think they do that $hip on purpose to make it so that the average layperson can’t understand it ithout taking time to diagram it and break it down which of course most prople won’t take the time to do. Makes it easier to slip past the peasants that way.
Seems to me like the “Gun Free Zone” equivalent for lawmakers.
Rightwingcrazy’s Reform Act:
—No regulation may be exercised or have the force of law without legislative approval.
—No legislation may be put in force unless approved and written out accurately in long hand, in legible English, in triplicate, by each of a majority of the representatives in the House and in the Senate.
—No regulation nor legislation may stay in force for more than one year, unless reapproved with the conditions set above.
Aside from missing the ‘without the aide of carbon paper’ in the 2nd, you’re DAMN SKIPPY.
ALL laws/etc. should have a sunset. Nothing is ever perfect for infinite tweaks.
None of the above has the force of law until Valery gives Obama the OK to sign this bill into law; and she will not.
Will never get past the Senate.
My emphasis was added by underlining. The precedent has been set for 200+ years, and needs to be RECLAIMED by the Congress.
No legislative (law-making) power was given to the Executive branch or the Judicial branch of the federal government. By extension, no legislative power was granted to a BUREAUCRACY!
Additionally, states ought to reclaim THEIR rightful place in the legislative process--the Constitution DOES NOT give the federal government power over the states and the people (see Amendment 9 & 10).
Just because the idea of natural law and natural rights and strict federalism has fallen out of vogue with the times doesn't mean the Constitution is null and void.
sff
The way to interpret this part of the Constitution, then, is to have ANY proposal by an agency created by Congress or proposed by an executive branch official or judiciary to be brought through Congress and voted upon by representatives of the states and the people.
The result will be ACCOUNTABILITY of the federal government to the people (as envisioned by the founders) and FEWER laws that restrict freedom.
I have an idea: Pass a law that any regulation/rule proposed by any agency has to be approved by congress just like any other law.
Our sovereignty has been stolen, . . . but there is a way to reclaim it in Article V.
I belive it to be another attempt to fully muck the works, before the next president is elected, who just might try to do away with this whole thing.
I was a gov’mint wonk, so i had to tread through a lot of things like this every single day.
It is not so much ‘lawyerese’, as it is reading something on wikipedia, and always having to go the footnotes, to find that OTHER website, for a small definition, that was included in THIS piece of work, about every two minutes. Not to mention that you find yourself going down a rabbithole after THAT definition, several book-bound stickied pages later, that you just might be able to put together ONE sentence that makes sense.
In the ‘90’s, the federal government had all the defense manufacturers, who had been making things aerospace, and winning wars with them or landing on the moon, change all their specifications, TO FIT EUROPEAN STANDARDS, ala I.S.O. I was part of the team that did that at Grumman/Northrup Grumman, Long Island, NY.
