The House bill is HR 2829.
On the Net:
Text of Jan. 18 Executive Order 13422: http:http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/orders
I’m so unhappy with Bush that I personally don’t want him to have any additional powers. I’m afraid he’d use them somehow to grant a blanket amnesty. That’s what happens when you betray people. They will never trust you again.

bump.
It is the executive branch of the government, the president is in charge of the executive branch. It is not a ‘new’ grab for power, but maintaining the assertion that should have been there in the first place.
When I see these groups FOR anything I immediately cheer for the other side and I haven't been wrong yet.
Bush’s order would require regulators to show that private markets had failed to address a targeted problem before they went after it themselves
This sounds like a good thing to me - assert some control over regulatory agencies and also make them justify proposed new rules. Plus, if Loretta Sanchez and the AFL-CIO are opposed, its probably be a good thing to support.
Doesnt look like this would give that kind of power but Im pretty cautious right now.
I really hate feeling that way, but he's put the screws to Americans, and I don't trust him. I'm just not ready to give that man any more power.
The Lost Treaty, The Prosperity, Peace and Security Treaty with Mexico and Canada, and a lot more dangerous things for Americans are on his radar and I just don't trust him to do the right thing for Americans. IF I had my way, I'd make him step down because he's a globalist. THAT plus giving the UN control and amnesty are the things he's determined to pass through whether we like it or not. He's just like his daddy, and we all know he swore an oath of allegiance to the UN!
President Bush is giving an obscure White House office new powers this month over a wide range of regulations affecting health, worker safety and the environment. Calling it a power grab, Democrats running Congress are intent on stopping him.
Uh, yeah, sorry, this jerk deserves LESS power NOT MORE!
and based on his performance, L’il bush and all who follow him need a whole lot more oversight, not less.
Except that we caught the government training companies how to to get around having to use American companies in favor of world markets. THAT is how much he cares about American companies.
Bush has found his voice on something besides immigration. I dont have a problem with this ...............
I'm sorry. I do. We cannot afford to trust this man. He could sell us out and into poverty with his globalist agenda! Everyone, everywhere comes before Americans do! I've had enough!
That plus he refuses to pardon the two border patrol agents who are sitting in federal prison, and yet he commutes Libby's sentence and he will grant him a full pardon before he leaves office. IF he can find a way to grant shamnesty through an EO, he'd do it today! Americans have NO reason to trust him.
“Im so unhappy with Bush that I personally dont want him to have any additional powers.”

These aren't additional powers. This is merely the president attempting to reign in and provide oversight for parts of the executive branch that are creating rules (interpretations and implementations of the law) on their own rather than following the policies of the president.
The entrenched bureaucracy in the government is notably liberal and likely to increase it's own influence and power if not kept in check. This prevents groups such as the EPA from advancing a liberal agenda without providing a cost-benefit analysis and showing that market forces aren't handling to problem.
Therefore the Democrats are strongly opposed to it. It creates a stronger precedence for providing solid justifications for regulations rather than simply advancing their agenda.
They actually were slipping a lot of NAU-friendly provisions into the "immigration" bill.
