How can Obama "order" this. Nonsense. He can't just put out "orders" such as that. Lol.
He is the chief executive of the executive branch of government. He is well within his authority to order who can and cannot use executive branch restrooms. I can't even find the text of the document the Fox Facebook page purports the man has signed. It's not even listed on the Executive Orders webpage. (The most recent one is from 6-May-2016.) Moreover, the only place I can find the act as named by the Fox Facebook post -- Late Sunday, President Obama signed the "Freedom Liberty Patriotic Restroom Compliance Act" -- is in that post. You try. Copy and past the name of the act into Google and see if you get anything other than the Fox post. Fox doesn't even provide a link to the so named document.
It's not clear to the me the man actually signed such a thing. It's hard to think the President of the U.S. can sign an act, a document, and nobody, not one single person or organization other than Fox "News," is aware of the name of the damned document/act.
What I found that comes closest is a letter, but it's not even signed by Mr. Obama nor is it on White House letterhead. Reading the
DoJ and DoE's letter to the nation's public schools, I see there is no force of law associated with the guidance in the letter, and nobody thinks there is, not even Obama Administration officials who sent it. Schools, districts, and states can freely choose to comply with the guidelines in the letter or they can choose not to comply with them. There crime associated with non-compliance.
That is the
silliest thing I've ever heard! He is disgusting. With all the serious problems we are facing??? Sick. This world has gone insane.
Specifically what "that" do you mean?
What I think is silly is that this issue came about at all. The simple fact is that until 2016, transgender folks have been going to whatever restroom they wanted to and until of late, nobody had a word to say about it. Truly, were a F-->M transsexual ever in the restroom with me, I never knew it or noticed.
But 2016 is an election year, so a bunch of clowns -- on both sides of the issue -- had to make something of it. Somebody somewhere needed something to talk about, and quite frankly, I think it was some conservative somewhere because, as I said, trans folks have been pissin' and poopin' in "whatever" restroom for as long as there have been trans people, and no liberal, moderate or progressive was going to make "a thing" out of the fact that they have been and would have continued to do so absent the laws that have recently been passed.
This whole thing need not have ever risen to a national level had someone in some city/town somewhere just "taken a chill" and let some dude or chick pee and move on. I mean really. It's a bodily function/need. Everyone does it. Whether one sees them do it or not, whether the person one sees doing is the same or different gender, we all know how it works and we all know what body parts are involved and what they look like. The furor over this matter is indeed just silly.
