Update on Sunlight Before Signing
As we've noted on the blog, the President has signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. We've also published the DTV Delay Act of 2009.
Since a few questions have come in [NVA: I'll bet!], we want to update you on the President's campaign commitment to introducing more sunlight into the lawmaking process by posting non-emergency legislation online for five days before signing it. This policy will be implemented in full soon; currently we are working through implementation procedures and some initial issues with the congressional calendar.
The President remains committed to bringing more transparency to government, and in this spirit the White House will continue to publish legislation expected to come to his desk online for public comment as it moves through Congress.
You caught us AGAIN! Heh, heh, heh, but we're working on it and just as soon as we ram through all the socialism we can, we'll implement this policy. Yep, we sure will ... sometime, someday, even though this really requires nothing but patience on the part of the President to implement.
And using Executive Orders and his FIST seems to be his method of transparency to the people!
besides, I won ... get over it!
Why doesn’t Obama insist on sunlight before the vote?! That would be real change.
