He wants what Nixon had and if he gets it it`s game over as hussein will take it to the 10th power and create a Chavez-like State:

President Nixon’s creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was cobbled together from parts of other federal agencies by executive order, marked the beginning of a regulatory revolution. No other federal agency has ever been created in this fashion. Nixon had first wanted an act of Congress to create a cabinet-level Department of Environment and Natural Resources, but abandoned the plan because of congressional opposition. Others in the Nixon White House thought the new EPA should be more like the National Institute of Health, conducting research and recommending environmental standards and strategies for Congress and the states to incorporate into legislation. But Nixon wanted the EPA to be an operating and enforcement-oriented agency. Ironically, the EPA that emerged is a more powerful agency than a cabinet-level department, because unlike a cabinet department that is more closely under the authority of the White House, the EPA enjoys more independence as an administrative agency.

The lack of congressional deliberation and a specific statutory mission has made the EPA a battleground for the competing views of what “the environment” comprises.

cont`d :

“Not only was the EPA without specific statutory basis but the Nixon reorganization plan that created the agency left the term “environment” undefined. Nixon thought these matters should be left for the EPA’s administrator to decide. “
