Of course the can, but who knows what the next (p)resident will bring. I’d prefer someone who knows that we can attain and use our resources in a responsible manner and remain good stewards of the enviro. But, we may just get another warmunist/trubeliever/profiteer.

An EO can be reversed by Congress.

Put it into a must pass appropriations bill.

If Odumbo vetoes, override.

It is time the punk in the White House is put in his place.

Presidential Revocation and Modification of Executive Orders

Executive orders are undoubtedly one of many tools available to Presidents to further policy goals
during his Administration. By their very nature, however, executive orders lack stability, especially in the face of evolving presidential priorities. The President is free to revoke, modify, or supersede his own orders or those issued by a predecessor.

The practice of Presidents modifying and revoking executive orders is exemplified particularly where orders have been issued to assert control over and influence the agency rulemaking process. Beginning with President Gerald Ford’s Administration, the following timeline demonstrates the gradual modification by succeeding Presidents in supplementing the congressionally mandated rulemaking process with a uniform set of standards regarding cost-benefit considerations.


President Gerald Ford issued Executive Order 11821, which required agencies to issue inflation impact statements for proposed regulations.

President Jimmy Carter altered this practice with Executive Order 12044, which required agencies to consider the potential economic impact of certain rules and identify potential alternatives.


President Ronald Reagan revoked President Carter’s order and implemented a scheme that arguably asserted much more extensive control over the rulemaking process. He issued Executive Order 12291, which directed agencies to implement rules only if the “potential benefits to society for the regulation outweigh the Executive Orders: Issuance, Modification, and Revocation Congressional Research Service potential costs to society.”

This required agencies to prepare a cost-benefit analysis for any proposed rule that could have a significant economic impact.


President William J. Clinton later issued Executive Order 12866, which modified the system established during the Reagan Administration.

While retaining many of the basic features of President Reagan’s order, Executive Order 12866 arguably eased cost-benefit analysis requirements, and recognized the primary duty of agencies to fulfill the duties committed to them by Congress.

President George W. Bush subsequently issued two executive orders—Executive Orders 13258 and 13422—both of which amended the Clinton executive order.

Executive Order 13258 concerned regulatory planning and review, and it removed references from Clinton’s executive order regarding the role of the Vice President, and instead referenced the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) or the Chief of Staff to the President.

Executive Order 13422 defined guidance documents and significant guidance documents and applied several parts of the Clinton executive order to guidance documents.

It also required each agency head to designate a presidential appointee to the newly created position of regulatory policy officer. Executive Order 13422 also made changes to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs’ (OIRA) duties and authorities, including a requirement that OIRA be given advance notice of significant guidance documents.


President Barack Obama revoked both of these orders via Executive Order 13497.
