***Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Richard Shelby is watching banking and consumer finance regulations that come under his panel’s purview. “We don’t know what he’s coming with. This president has set a precedent that none of us has seen in recent years,” the Alabama Republican said in an interview. “He’s tried to do everything by regulation rather than legislation.***

It’s called treason you jerk off. It’s called he’s a dictator because you have allowed/facilitated it all for your 30 pieces of silver.

Judas’ all!

So then the left would send the jackboots in Elian Gonzalez style. And the media would dance and celebrate.

Congress is powerless because it chooses to be powerless. States have the power, if they choose to use it, to tell the unelected federal fascists to suck sewer water.

These aren't EO's though. Congress creates executive agencies by statuce (US Code), and empowers the agencies to issue "regulations" (Code of Federal Regulations, or "CFR"). What is being done is CFR stuff.

Hm, that's illegal:

Article. I.
Section. 1.


All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Nowhere is the power to further delegate legislative powers granted in the Constitution.

But can’t everything done by Executive Order be undone by the incoming POTUS? I don’t think they’re the same as laws enacted thru Congress. The POTUS is head of the Executive Branch and a new POTUS can undo what his predecessor put into effect, I am pretty sure.

Note this concerns a flood of 1500 rules and regulations that Gov’t Agencies already have the authority to implement without further Congressional approval.
Exec Order has nothing to do with this.

Good luck with a new president trying to “roll back” rules & regs as the left wing gov’t and media will Howl about “the negative impact the radical right wing will have on our poor, children / elderly, environment, consumer safety / fairness”, etc.
