Executive Order--Regulation and Independent Regulatory Agencies
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to improve regulation and regulatory review, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. (a) Wise regulatory decisions depend on public participation and on careful analysis of the likely consequences of regulation. Such decisions are informed and improved by allowing interested members of the public to have a meaningful opportunity to participate in rulemaking. To the extent permitted by law, such decisions should be made only after consideration of their costs and benefits (both quantitative and qualitative).
(b) Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," directed to executive agencies, was meant to produce a regulatory system that protects "public health, welfare, safety, and our environment while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation." Independent regulatory agencies, no less than executive agencies, should promote that goal.
(c) Executive Order 13563 set out general requirements directed to executive agencies concerning public participation, integration and innovation, flexible approaches, and science. To the extent permitted by law, independent regulatory agencies should comply with these provisions as well.
Sec. 2. Retrospective Analyses of Existing Rules. (a) To facilitate the periodic review of existing significant regulations, independent regulatory agencies should consider how best to promote retrospective analysis of rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned. Such retrospective analyses, including supporting data and evaluations, should be released online whenever possible.
(b) Within 120 days of the date of this order, each independent regulatory agency should develop and release to the public a plan, consistent with law and reflecting its resources and regulatory priorities and processes, under which the agency will periodically review its existing significant regulations to determine whether any such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed so as to make the agency's regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in achieving the regulatory objectives.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) For purposes of this order, "executive agency" shall have the meaning set forth for the term "agency" in section 3(b) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, and "independent regulatory agency" shall have the meaning set forth in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5).
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) authority granted by law to a department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(c) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(d) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE, July 11, 2011.
Could some tell me under what section of the Constitution the “executive order” is covered?
INDEED, A SOBERING VIDEO
Sorry, A-G, I don’t know if captions are available or not.
Watch this bone chilling video and then forward to everyone you know.

The people have virtually NO representatives.
The so called reps ceased representing us and began exclusively representing the Marxist globalist oligarchy long ago.
The noose just got tightened a notch. And the sheep said, Baaa, or who cares?
I have no idea.
Not sure I want to see that video...have been seeing several this week that doesn’t give me much hope.
Just wrote I’m tired of a few selective politicians meeting to determine how they are going to handle our country, and Obama stepping up to play the king in the middel...WHEN WE HAVE A CONGRESS with Representatives.
Ok ...will go view this now.
Wonder if that's a pledge Michele Bachmann would sign.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) For purposes of this order, “executive agency” shall have the meaning set forth for the term “agency” in section 3(b) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, and “independent regulatory agency” shall have the meaning set forth in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5).

I think this is the important part. Is this a re-definition, or new definition? Put another way, is this the part that expands Federal power?
I wouldn’t call it thrillingly encouraging either.
I just have a bias that the truth is better than deception.
And, thankfully, as Christians, we can
BE ENCOURAGED IN THE LORD;
WE CAN ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER IN THE LORD. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!
I wouldn’t call it thrillingly encouraging either.
I just have a bias that the truth is better than deception.
Actually,
we have a pretend Congress with pretend reps marching lock-step to their puppet masters orders and string pulling.
Could be part of it, if not all of it. The New York Times just called him a centrist, so for all the people who can’t chit in the morning withut the NY Times telling them it’s OK, he is now a centrist.
Good point. Sort of a have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife ploy. I hope I live long enough to find out who the twisted individual is who is thinking these things up.

It doesn’t but, EOs have been around since Washington.

I agree with your idea that he’s doing this to muddy the waters. He’s just issued an EO in the past few days about guns and records of gun sales in the border states. I figure he’s going to have so many regulations issued, we won’t be able to track down all their implications and respond in time. His handlers are cunning.
I’d be interested in your responses/perspectives on it.
He IS despicable!
What I am waiting for is when the politicians can, if possible, put aside their political ambitions and pay attention to the work before them and fight where they need to, regardless of the fallout on their political aspirations. So far it's very discouraging that most are just blowing in the wind.
However there are a few who are willing to do so and I pray, as with Gideon, those few will come together themselves and take the stand they all should be doing....speaking of Republicans of course.
I believe the few Believers in lots of situations will be doing GREAT EXPLOITS for the KINGDOM OF GOD.
I don’t know what God will allow in behalf of the Republic of the US of A.
Certainly tons of discipline/judgment is headed our way.
Prayer may moderate severity, length etc. to some degree for some local areas.
On the whole, the US of A we’ve known or thought we knew is no more and will never be again.
What exists after Armageddon will be quite different in a list of ways.
Between now and then will increasingly be more chaos, blood, disaster, death, tears than this land has known . . . perhaps ever.
