As he is a covert American hating Muslim loving ass O’ he will do his best. Although, he must know that whatever he does will mostly be reversed by Trump. So, it will be mostly symbolic except it incite more rioting?

Do an internet search for “Trump rescind Obama executive orders”

” . .be handing out to these EPA Nazis on his leaving”

True and he should save some ink for the IRS Nazis also,

Trump needs to revoke every lawless decree that demonic Obama creature signed and then fire everyone in the courts and the state department that he can,

We now know the Bush spawn didn’t do this because he approved of those same NWO Globalist Clinton appointees, both Clinton and that Sunni Marxist Muslim Brotherhood tool cleaned house to install their own reprobate minions, with not a word from the MSM,

Wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth,

All the President-Elect needs to do is issue a massive PR release saying “Ignore these orders. There will be accountability on January 21.”

Regulations are insidious monsters hiding in the tall grass of books so thick and dry nobody reads them. I read that a congressional committee asked the Justice Department for a list of regulations, not laws, regulations that required a prison sentence. The DOJ responded that there was no list. There were hundreds of thousands of regulations at all levels of government that required jail sentences. There was no practical way to list them all.

I started researching this issue when a friend got a criminal arrest citation for burning trash. The fine, which he couldn’t pay, cost him, in this order, his driver’s license, his job and his marriage. All for burning trash.

I went searching for the DOJ article and couldn’t find it. However, I found this. Note the one on jail terms for violating auto sales regulations.

http://www.autodealermonthly.com/channel/dps-office/article/story/2010/11/19-laws-rules-and-regulations-that-can-cost-you-more-than-money.aspx

The criminal penalties, remember, the burning trash episode was a regulation, not a law, are so they can force you to pay the fines. It’s leverage. If you pay the fine, they offer to erase the criminal penalties. (If you have a criminal record it’s hard to get a job.) In the end, this is all about extracting money.

A building code inspector told a developer I know, “Yeah, I’m sorry about this, but we’re self funded. (The boss) told us to go write fines or get fired.”

Legislation, such as the Clean Water Act, needs to be rewritten so that any rules derived from the act are specifically spelled out in the act.

That sounds like a good idea, but it ends up forcing Congress to micromanage things that are outside its capabilities.

I run into the same issues on the USDOT/Federal Highway Administration side. Right now I'm working for a client who is trying to meet some specific provisions of the last Federal transportation bill, and over the course of the last six months I must have said the following at least two dozen times:

"Congress should have hired me to help them draft a better bill."

Look at something like standard colors and lettering styles for signs on the Interstate Highway System. Those aren't mandated by Congress. They are established by the U.S. Department of Transportation under authority that is given to them by Congress -- presumably because the USDOT is filled with professionals who know why certain colors and lettering schemes work better than others.

I don't have a problem with the Executive Branch making regulations like this when it is better suited to do it than Congress is. I just think these regulations should have "sunset" provisions that force Congress to re-authorize these departments to make these rules every five years or so.

U.S. federal law mandates a 60-day waiting period before any major regulatory changes become law. Thus, some Presidents try to publish new major regulations on November 21, 60 days before the new President's inauguration on January 20. "Minor" regulations, or those that have less than US$100 million in effect on the economy or do not have major social policy significance,[1] have a similar 30-day waiting period.

Probably. But what Obama regulates at the stroke of a pen Trump can de-regulate just as easily.
