Obama is set to push through last-minute 'midnight regulations' to secure his legacy and limit President Trump's regime
'Midnight regulations' are a last chance for a president to make his mark and introduce new laws
As many as 98 final regulations are reportedly under review at the White House
These include limiting air pollution from the oil industry and measures aiming to help highly skilled immigrant workers obtain green cards
Barack Obama is set to ram through last-minute law changes to try and cement his legacy, according to reports.
'Midnight regulations' are those introduced between November's election and January's inauguration of a new president.
It is a last chance for an outgoing Commander-in-chief to put his stamp on the presidency and tie the hands of his successor.
Obama can pass the rules because of a loophole in US law allowing him to put last-minute regulations into the Code of Federal Regulations - rules that have the same force as law.

its already started
Just more rules to undo.
This is why I hate federal bureaucracies, they have regulating power and under the control of the POTUS. The Constitution does not grant the POTUS law making authority.
WHO’S going to enforce those regulations? :)
Trump can do what obummer did with illegals and the IRS.
Ignore anything he wants to.
And many other things as well.
They almost all get reversed.
This is a typical move by an out-going President.
Obama is trying to get things from a last minute rule-making burst he knows he has no chance of getting from Congress.
we’re awash in bs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gunny G @ Planet WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How Obama gave America Donald Trump.....
Trump’s first minute noon-time rescinds.
No he has a phone and a pen.
He’s doing this so he can say...”I tried”. Otherwise, it’s all for show. Trump is the bulldozer we need and will reverse all the commie, fascist BS that O created.
You can't kill 'em if you can't see 'em.
Yes you can. Botulism has enemies everywhere.
Presidents should not have this power in their fourth years.
All of these unilateral illegal "regulations" are invalid laws. The only valid federal laws are those passed by Congress the only constitutionally authorized federal law-making body. Therefore, each of these Obama regulations are unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are each separate acts of tyranny.
That would include constitutionally-sovereign state nullification and Trump eliminating the Administrative/Regulatory State and also voiding all regulations thereof.
That moment passed about 7 years ago.
He could put Romney on it.
Congress has blocked these last month shenanigans.
