Congressional Democrats plot behind the scenes to utilize a little-known provision under the 1996 Congressional Review Act, enabling Congress to undo regulations issued by the Trump administration in the past 60 days.
Seemingly confident of Joe Biden’s eventual victory in the courts, Democrats have publicly urged the Trump administration to stop issuing “midnight regulations,” those passed between a presidential election and the inauguration of a president from a different party. (Fox News)
In a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., and House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said that “midnight rules” — passed in the lame-duck session — tend to be rushed and implemented without giving Congress sufficient time to review them.
“We are concerned that these ‘midnight rules’ may be rushed through without providing Congress adequate time to review these rules, as required by law,” the lawmakers wrote. “These rules could include significant actions that have the potential to weaken air quality standards, lift protections for endangered species, jeopardize national security, or impose new immigration rules.”
Nadler and Maloney pointed to a 2018 report from the Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan watchdog, which found that 25% of “economically significant rules” passed during transition periods in 2000, 2008 and 2016 — by the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, respectively — did not comply with the procedural requirements of the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
The failure of those administrations to comply with the CRA “has the overall effect of making it more difficult for Congress to exercise its oversight role under CRA,” according to the GAO, and “can potentially create legal uncertainty for agencies and regulated parties.”
Of course, the General Services Administration has not ascertained the presidential election winner, which only then gives the green light to a formal presidential transition.
If Jerry Nadler is involved it’s crooked as He$$!
JERRY nADLER ALONG WITH PELOSI, SCHUMER, SHIFF AND THE WHOLE DEMOCRAT PARTY ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF SCUMBAG LIERS, CHEATERS AND CRIMINALS. AND IF YOU VOTED FOR ANY OF THEM YOU ARE AS CROOKED AS THEY ARE OR BRAINLESS AND DON’T CARE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BECAUSE ALL YOU WANT IS THE FREEBIES THAT YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LET YOU HAVE WELL YOU BEST THINK AGAIN BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS GIVE NOTHING FOR FREE. BECAUSE THEY WILL BE TO BUSY TAKING YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT ALL THE 10’S OF MILLIONS TO SUPPORT ALL THE ILLEGALS THEY WILL BRING INTO THE COUNTRY.
The welfare bums don’t mind. But what they fail to realize is nothing is free. You depend on the government for handouts, the government controls you. And that’s what the democrats want. To control all of us.
That’s the plan.
There will be taxes for the average person even though they say they won’t tax anyone below 400K. They will tax 401Ks, add a carbon tax to utilities and a VAT tax to purchases. You will feel it in your pocket book…I can’t see how 2.4% of the 300 million people could possibly pay for all the freebies the math doesn’t work out. We are in big trouble with this administration coming in…I truly expect a Venezuela happening here…they want power complete control…Newsom is practicing that in California…
Government should be by the people for the people, not for the politicians to get filthy rich over how the run our Government. Being able to vote w/o obstruction for pay hikes to themselves. Maybe we should tell our employers we have voted ourselves a pay hike so pay up. It is inevitable that a percentage of Politicians will do whatever it takes to further themselves financially, although our President got his fortune from his hard work ethics and I believe he only takes $1 as a Salary for his position as POTUS. It usually is a standard thing that once you put in your 20-30 years of service to your employer you want to retire. But there are many politicians riding the gravy train for 40-50 years w/o improving the life style for most Americans but for themselves and the elites. President Trump came in as a Businessman and will leave as a Businessman trying to make our Country Great again for all those that want to put the effort into helping making it that way. This is Not the way the Democrats want it to be, but to give everything free to American Citizens and Illegal immigrants, so they can control everything they do. The Democrats have kept minorities down for years, providing welfare and food stamps w/o people earning them and just do nothing. These poor people think they are getting treated good by the Dems but in reality they are being held Captive, similar to the days of slavery. The Corruption has to be stopped by the DOJ as our top Justice dept. and not be influenced like they have in the past to just look the other way. Not having Obama and Biden and the rest of the Obama administration held accountable for using our Nations resources to investigate Candidate and President Elect Donald J. Trump on false pretenses they made up. AG Sessions played a big roll in letting this Russia Hoax get totally out of hand. He recused himself allowing the Democratic deep state to move forward at the tax payers expense on false charges. Biden was in the Oval Office with President Obama, James Comey, Susan Rice and a few others discussing investigating the Trump Campaign and Biden wanted to invoke the Logan Act, charging General Flynn who did nothing wrong. They never advised General Flynn they were investigating him or did they notify the President elect Trump in regards to what their intentions were. AG Barr and John Durham better charge and prosecute all the players involved in this fake attempt at trying to bring down the president Elect and then the President of the United States. AG Barr and Durham seem to be pussy footing around this investigation because it is too close to the election, BULL S HIT. I feel and I hope I am wrong that AG Barr and John Durham are derelict in the performances of their duties.
Yep. Corporations are a classification in the tax code. That is why big business incorporates. Corps don’t pay taxes. The customer pays the tax via increased product cost. The of a loaf of bread or gallon of gas will rise, utilities will increase due to costs for labor and equipment.
The wealthy will not pay more. Their wealth is off shore and previously taxed. Warren Buffet pays no tax for he only receives $ 1.00 income annually.
Increased taxes will be paid by anyone that works for a living, period.
You couldn’t have put it more honestly. Hang in there Louise. W.S.
You’re 100% right
Did he shit his pants again? Nancy , You’re going to have to clean Jerry up again.
I swear i don’t see how in the hell any of those dunbasses ever got elected to anything.
Dems elected them. Dumbasses electing dumbasses. It’s all in the retarded family
I wouldn’t listen to them, it seems no other president has. Besides, what are they really trying to accomplish? ANYTHING?
Damn, they are going to try and screw Trump all the way up to bidens taking office(if he wins).
Has anyone noticed how friendly Biden is with China ? It looks like their pretty good friends and there is something that no one has noticed , the virus came from China and Biden and his son visited there during the summer. I think Biden and his son and the liberal party knows all about this but I think Biden brought back the virus from China to hurt Trump’s chance to win. Why hasn’t anyone noticed the China, Biden and his son , virus connection ? I think someone needs to find out if Biden and the liberal party set lose the virus so Trump would lose the election. Someone needs to do some detective work now ! There is people everywhere that will tell all and I think the virus came from China with the help of Biden and the liberal party !
Fauci also had dealings with the Wuhan Lab. I think POTUS should offer a multi-million $ reward to anyone in China or elsewhere for documented proof of American people’s involvement in the plandemic with China. It is all to coincidental for this election year. I do not believe in coincidences. Especially after russia, Russia, Russia. The demonRat’s will go to any length to take out POTUS and make the USA a fascist nation.
If the dems would only have backed Mr TRUMP old JOE would be out on his ass and that would be vary good for AMERICA
The demonrats are trying to get Trump to concede because it’s over once he does.
I’ve Been reading quite a bit about these fraudulent voting machines that were purchased
across the country and we my see some results from that…..hoping and praying because our
future depends on it.
Just back date the orders with a hand stamp. They would count then
FU communist? The only thing biden won was a trip to prison
