Executive Order: Protecting the Property Rights of the American People

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to strengthen the rights of the American people against the taking of their private property, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to protect the rights of Americans to their private property, including by limiting the taking of private property by the Federal Government to situations in which the taking is for public use, with just compensation, and for the purpose of benefiting the general public and not merely for the purpose of advancing the economic interest of private parties to be given ownership or use of the property taken.

Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Attorney General shall:

(i) issue instructions to the heads of departments and agencies to implement the policy set forth in section 1 of this order; and

(ii) monitor takings by departments and agencies for compliance with the policy set forth in section 1 of this order.

(b) Heads of departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted by law:

(i) comply with instructions issued under subsection (a)(i); and

(ii) provide to the Attorney General such information as the Attorney General determines necessary to carry out subsection (a)(ii).

Sec. 3. Specific Exclusions. Nothing in this order shall be construed to prohibit a taking of private property by the Federal Government, that otherwise complies with applicable law, for the purpose of:

(a) public ownership or exclusive use of the property by the public, such as for a public medical facility, roadway, park, forest, governmental office building, or military reservation;

(b) projects designated for public, common carrier, public transportation, or public utility use, including those for which a fee is assessed, that serve the general public and are subject to regulation by a governmental entity;

c) conveying the property to a nongovernmental entity, such as a telecommunications or transportation common carrier, that makes the property available for use by the general public as of right;

(d) preventing or mitigating a harmful use of land that constitutes a threat to public health, safety, or the environment;

(e) acquiring abandoned property;

(f) quieting title to real property;

(g) acquiring ownership or use by a public utility;

(h) facilitating the disposal or exchange of Federal property; or

(i) meeting military, law enforcement, public safety, public transportation, or public health emergencies.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) authority granted by law to a department or agency or the head thereof; or

(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budget, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(c) This order shall be implemented in a manner consistent with Executive Order 12630 of March 15, 1988.

(d) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity against the United States, its departments, agencies, entities, officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

[Ben Ficklin]

Whatever, I've mopped the floor with you again.

Mr High and Mighty complains about Texas but can't respond to events in Arizona. Hah hah hah haah

[Smartass]

"Whatever, I've mopped the floor with you again."

GOTCHA...
Only in your warped, and babbling socialistic dreams.
Tough to lose and be gracious, isn't it!

[Ben Ficklin]

What are you going to do about the NAFTA highways in AZ. What about the inland port in Tucson, Nueveo Puerto? What about this new rail corridor from Mexico to AZ.

Are you going to tell me you don't care anymore?

[bitt]

hehheh.......standing here waiting to hold the coats, gentlemen.....

[Smartass]

Your last chance...or adios pendejo.

"The questions you asked were clearly answered in previous posts." I suggest you enlighten yourself. But first, gently screw your head down a little tighter. Take any forgotten medications. Get a grip (on something), and then, go way back over the thread and read the posts.

 

[bitt]

you made me look that up. 'arrogant person or idiot', huh?

[Ben Ficklin]

What are you going to do about the corridor linking the Mexican port Guaymos with Tucson's inland port, Puerto Nuevo.

Nothing.

[Smartass]

Bitt, this Bozo is a genuine PENDEJO.
He know's he's dead wrong, but he's just being a jackass.

 

[Smartass]

LIKE I ALREADY POSTED PENDEJO - NOTHING

[Lancey Howard]

The problem is, any scumbag Democrat President could make up and sign a new "Executive Order" which totally reverses this one. On a whim.

[bitt]

well, he's been around for a long time, and no doubt likes to poke you with a stick because you jump.

Move on, we got places to go!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Almost entirely.

[Smartass]

Post #152...

OK jackass, read and weep.

"If you don't care about Arizona's NAFTA highway, why would you care about Texas' NAFTA highway."

Because U.S. roads mean nothing to me.

I do care about U.S. sovereignty, and if you're a good American you would to. I do care about this country being dragged down to third world status, and if you're a good American you'd care too. Simple question: Are you Ben Ficklin, a good American?

Anyone that read and underdstand the English language will know that: "Because U.S. roads mean nothing to me" has answered your Prozac bounced question.

ADIOS PENDEJO

[Ben Ficklin]

Nothing! All hat and no horse.

[Smartass]

you're the horseless Texas LOSER...PENDEJO!

 

[Ben Ficklin]

Tell me more about this new rail corridor from Puta Colonet to Puta Arizona. That right up your alley.

[Admin Moderator]

You are on very thin ice at this site. I suggest you keep your finger off of of the abuse button.

[DaveTesla]

You are correct.

Laws clarifying for the public taking (as if we didn't
know to begin with) need to implemented on the state
level as well as the federal level.

[NRA2BFree]

Almost entirely.

Not long after the Supreme beings ruled against Americans our state legislature passed a law to protect citizens in NM and our Governor Bill Richardson REFUSED to sign it. He vetoed it. This is the man RAT who wants to be President. Remember that name. LOL
