THANKS !!

But, I have a little problem about his signing something, to get around Congress, that needs congressional approval to be removed. . .

Sounds like a Zen Riddle to me. . .

Yes but the question was , “why he has not countermanded Clinton EO's?" Or was I mistaken? Executive orders are constitutional. The reason they are is because they do not carry the force of law past a sitting presidents term of office unless allowed by future presidents

Sorry I missed your point. The "Antiquities act" specifically grants a sitting president the authority to declare "National Monuments". That is a congressional authorization. However;, congress retains the power to modify OR "veto" any "monument" it chooses.
