The Obama administration will use a legal strategy crafted by environmental activists to remove sections of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans from future offshore drilling lease sales, according to two sources familiar with the plan told Bloomberg.

For months, environmentalists have been urging President Barack Obama to use Section 12(a) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, a 1953 law governing offshore drilling, in a way it’s never been used before — to block offshore drilling leases in the Atlantic Ocean and the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.

Yea right - BS.

You mean the “smart ones” who couldn’t see Trump winning is going to win?

Don’ t think so.

[Jim W N]

B/S. The only thing permanent about Obama is he will be GONE permanently.

[BipolarBob]

and Trump can permanently unblock them.

[relictele]

Dear watermelons: Obama has demonstrated that he doesn’t care whether laws exist or not in issuing his EOs.

[Red Badger]

Congress and amend the law....................

[P-Marlowe]

And Trump can undo it the same way.

[hal ogen]

President Trump should be able to reverse everything this cabal of Free-America haters does...if he chooses to do so. After all, he’ll soon have a pen and a phone.

Great post I saw on another forum:

JFK is the President who led men to the moon. Obama is the President who led men into women's bathrooms.

Everything Obama broke can be fixed--some more easily than others--but all can be fixed.

[MNJohnnie]

Fake news. He can’t. Anything he does can be undone. They tried this same idiocy with Obamacare

[Mr. Douglas]

My words exactly.

Must be a slow news day.

[tennmountainman]

Whatever Obama does with a pen, Trump can undo with a pen.
It’s that simple.

He can't.

[Doogle]

.....but others countries can.....???

[DOC44]

Its our turn now...... get over it and get the h3!! out of the way.

The rule since at least 1954 is that nothing is settled until it is settled the way the liberals want it settled, and then it is settled. Trump is the one person who can break that python’s squeeze, and this would be a good place to start.

Alaska Ping!

My understanding is that anything not in the Constitution of the United States of America is open for discussion.

[G Larry]

Exactly what Constitutional power is this author assigning to Obama, such that he could possibly install some policy that could not be undone?
