Yeah it seems like he’s just trying to create as much paperwork for Trump as possible but I don’t see the purpose.

Juvenile or mentally disturbed lashing out.

The laws are pretty clear on out-going Presidents not sabotaging a President-elect during the window between Election and Inauguration. I wonder how much of this crap can be nullified under the 1963 “Presidential Transition Act” :

[The national interest requires that such transitions in the office of President be accomplished so as to assure continuity in the faithful execution of the laws and in the conduct of the affairs of the Federal Government, both domestic and foreign. Any disruption occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people. Accordingly, it is the intent of the Congress that appropriate actions be authorized and taken to avoid or minimize any disruption. In addition to the specific provisions contained in this Act directed toward that purpose, it is the intent of the Congress that all officers of the Government so conduct the affairs of the Government for which they exercise responsibility and authority as (1) to be mindful of problems occasioned by transitions in the office of President, (2) to take appropriate lawful steps to avoid or minimize disruptions that might be occasioned by the transfer of the executive power, and (3) otherwise to promote orderly transitions in the office of President.]

Putting natural resources off-limits sounds to me like a violation. It modifies the use of a law or passes a new law expressly to undermine the effectiveness of the President-elect’s plans to promote “safety and well-being of the United States and its people.” Trump’s plans have always included making America energy independent and expanding the oil,gas, and coal industries to help American workers and promote the nation’s security.

It would be like Obama pardoning all of the criminals in Federal prisons or all the illegal aliens. Those actions would be sabotage.
