Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Richard Shelby is watching banking and consumer finance regulations that come under his panel's purview. “We don’t know what he’s coming with. This president has set a precedent that none of us has seen in recent years,” the Alabama Republican said in an interview. “He’s tried to do everything by regulation rather than legislation.”
To be sure, there are 1,500 proposed rules and regulations in the pipeline, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget. That includes over 700 dubbed “economically significant” in the key final stage, and Katz said those are the ones to watch.
Jerry Ellig, a senior researcher at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, has found that even though George W. Bush administration officials tried to tamp down midnight regulations, eight major rules proposed after June 1, 2007 carrying the “economically significant” stamp were enacted. And nine more were proposed.
Ellig sees this as a major problem because such last-minute regulations are often crafted with “lower-quality regulatory analysis, and agencies are less likely to use the analysis to make decisions about the regulation.” That means, he has concluded, “these regulations are more likely to be ineffective or excessively costly.”
GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a member of the Energy and National Resources Committee, is particularly concerned about Obama’s increased use of the 1906 Antiquities Act to place certain lands off-limits to development.
So far, Obama has placed 548 million acres under federal protection, over twice as much as even Theodore Roosevelt, whose 230 million shielded acres earned him the “conservationist president” moniker.
.
They also have the power to wet their pants.
That is all they choose to do.
President Trump should, on his first day in office, rescind every regulation issued during these eight terrible years. His Cabinet can then propose reissuing any regulations that were worth keeping, but he should make them all go away until they can be reviewed. My guess: few if any are worth having, or they would have been issued under a real American president who loves our country.
The same is true for executive orders, understandings, and whatever he’s calling treaties that he doesn’t want send through the Senate. He should also issue a blanket lifetime waiver of all Obamacare mandates to every American business and to every American citizen. That action, following a precedent set by the usurper, would give Congress an incentive to just repeal that destructive law, without giving the democrats any leverage to press for replacement.
That’s all that Trump can reasonably do by executive fiat, other than ordering strict and energetic enforcement of immigration law, with permanent detention of illegals until all hearings, trials, and appeals are complete or until their deportation. That and nominating people who value the rule of law for federal court vacancies including the Supreme Court.
Congress could stop Obama if they wanted to, but Traitorcongress doesn't want to.
Anything changed by regulation can be changed again with a regulation.
I am betting “Tannerite” will be targeted before January. The ATF under Obama won’t be able to resist after last weekend.
Trump should go after this as an issue. The name of the ad?
“They are strangling us.”
These are regulations issued by agencies under authority of the Executive branch, not EO’s. The path to undo these regulations is quite a bit more convoluted than just issuing an edict.
We did this to ourselves, we allowed the federal government to create a regulatory environment that allows for a “defacto” dictatorship. Couple that with an enormous slush fund created an the aftermath of the economic crisis of ‘08-’09 the legislative branch is effectively neutered.
In the case of executive orders, that's true.
In the case of regulations issued by agencies, using authority delegated to them by Congress to enforce laws passed by both Houses and signed by various Presidents? That's not simple at all.
VERY QUICKLY.
I want to agree with you, for sheer logical argument sake.
However, you know the marxist-MSM will Always frame any conservative efforts to review or repeal rules & regulations as an assault on the environment, safety, consumer protection, fairness, etc.
Case in point -
Look at the utter Hell Gingrich went thru with his “Contract for America”.
Every media outlet framed it as a “Contract on America”.
Reagan warned us that government tends to never shrink once in place..
RE: Anything changed by regulation can be changed again with a regulation.”
EXCELLENT idea!
Go’in Galt...
RE: “A day is coming when some private industry is going to say “no more” (or, more to the point, “we will NOT comply”) to this crap, most likely with the backing of the public.
Ideally, it would be the power industry, who in the “spirit of the law” will promptly shut down all power feeds to the major cities in the northeast, on the west coast, and Chicago.”
True, but their actions (even if they were so inclined) would be vetoed! As one who was there at the transition from Carter to Reagan..., regulations which were not yet final were "Indefinitely Postponed" by Reagan. Those which were already "Final" were litigated for years and often slipped through. Politics is a "Blood Sport" and (unfortunately) Republicans have largely been FAR TOO POLITE FOR TOO LONG! For the dims, "The End Justifies the Means" and no tactic is off the table!!!
SHUT
DOWN
THE
GOVERMENT
Congress is replete with preening geldings and capons who don’t have even 1 nut between them. All are kabuki actors. Our “leaders” are a pathetic joke.
What one president can impose, another president can rescind.
Well, they could have cut funding.
They could hold up legislation/judges/several other things the President wants.
There are the tons of things they could do - they just don’t want too.
Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil! Progressive Socialist Marxist Fascist Communist Dictator Islamist Bureaucrap. All Evil!
Judge Nap says that if the GOP were to take the senate they could reject regulations while they are in the review stage and both houses of congress vote (they can’t do anything about regulations that have already taken effect, however).
OR elect a president sensitive to coal industry.

At the link below is an explanation of repealing regulations.
May 17, 2016: Regulation Day for Obama Administration
https://www.americanactionforum.org/insight/may-17-2016-regulation-day-for-obama-administration/
At what point will President Obama’s regulations become eligible for repeal by the next administration? As the American Action Forum (AAF) has previewed in the past, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) gives Congress the power to rescind federal regulations through an expedited procedure.
