The President by fiat can do something like that??
Where in the Constitution did we get a dictator?
You don’t remember Clinton’s last day in office? I think his national monument land grab was called Escalante but I could be wrong on the name and/or spelling.
Many, many presidents have designated federal lands as National Monuments since Congress passed the Antiquities Act.
Teddy Roosevelt created the most Natl Monuments.
GW Bush created the largest area of Natl Monument, but his Natl Monuments were Marine Monuments in the Pacific Ocean. No resource extraction-no fishing.
These lands in New Mexico, Otero Mesa, were bought from ranchers by the US Army/Fort Bliss when Ike was prez and later transferred to the BLM.
