“An order that goes unchallenged for 30 days goes into effect.”

Thats true,,,it becomes a “law” if unchallenged. My point is that it is nothing more than a law, and can be changed by simply passing a law repealing it, changing it, whatever. It doesnt become a constitutional amendment. Say EPA regulates greenhouse gas, or FCC regulates internet content. Congress can pass a specific law specifically undoing what they have just done.

But that takes a congress with the balls to do it, and no gay communist in the white house.

Here’s the rub: With something like this in the wind (no pun intended), lobbying dollars start to flow heavier and heavier. Our Congresscritters like that, a lot, and so nothing will be rolled back, by Republicans or Democrats.

The EPA's power is based on the Clean Air Act (of 1970, most recently amended in 1990). There is a bill before Congress (stalled) that provides for an amendment that would not permit CO2 or other "greenhouse gases" to be classified as pollutants and hence subject to regulation by the EPA. From another thread:

In January of this year Representative Marsha Blackburn sponsored bill H.R. 391 that will "amend the Clean Air Act to provide that greenhouse gases are not subject to the Act, and for other purposes".

Call your congress critters to see what they have done about HR 391.

The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business.

Stalinist thuggery.
