Trump signs executive order allowing only attorney general or president to interpret meaning of laws

[Rawley]

Fundamentally altering independent executive agencies and ending their independence was a goal of Project 2025.

For a guy who claims he never heard of it, Trump is basically checking all the boxes and then some.

Got authority for "independent" agencies in the Constitution?

 

[rightwinger]

That was the original intent of the Executive Order was how the executive branch was to enforce the law as it was interpreted by the President and the Attorney General's input.

So, every Federal Agency with thousands of pages of regulations and procedures must now go through Trump for an interpretation

You are aware that Trump can’t read more than a paragraph?

Wham!

Another blow to the bureaucracy. And a victory for the People.

​

President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring that only the attorney general or the president, instead of federal regulators or bureaucrats, can speak for the U.S. when interpreting the meaning of laws carried out by the executive branch.​

​

An aide talking about the order said it “reestablishes a long-standing norm” in the U.S. The order comes as Mr. Trump’s critics fight his agenda in court and raise accusations that he’ll ignore judicial orders.​

​

“The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties,” the order states.​

​

The document asserts that “previous administrations have allowed so-called ‘independent regulatory agencies’ to operate with minimal Presidential supervision.”​

​

“These regulatory agencies currently exercise substantial executive authority without sufficient accountability to the President, and through him, to the American people,” the order said. “Moreover, these regulatory agencies have been permitted to promulgate significant regulations without review by the President.”​

​

The president also signed a memorandum requiring federal agencies to report waste, fraud and abuse that’s uncovered and to detail programs that are eliminated. The aide described it as “imposing radical transparency requirements on government departments and agencies.”​

Are you aware that he won the election and you are stuck with him for three years and eleven months more?

Article I. Congress wrote the law that created them.

Hello?

It's window dressing for the cult-of-personality

It says nothing about The Law itself and the constitutionality of any Law.

When an administration has it's Solicitor General go before the Court, they are actually doing what Trump is now claiming is a new thing -- interpreting the meaning of laws carried out by the executive branch. It is an argument they put before the Court.

When the Judicial Branch gets involved?

Trump will revert back to his bs where he lost and became a convicted felon.

Well this will get laughed our of court, just like the fat slob's stolen election cases.

Trump seems to enjoy losing in the courts.

One of the most leftist judges in America just did this:

BREAKING: Judge Chutkan Denies Democrat AGs Request For Restraining Order Against Elon Musk and DOGE | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

Judge Chutkan's recent ruling denies a restraining order against Elon Musk, highlighting tensions between state attorneys general and the Trump administration over executive power and constitutional interpretations.

You don't know a damn thing about the constitution.

Do you Bluster?

Nobody on the left seemed concerned when JFK appointed his own brother as A.G. to cover his ass.

 

[Marener]

the executive branch carries out laws made by congress,,

The law made by Congress created some independent agencies that they intended to be shielded by the political influence of the president.

So this is an example of Trump defying the law set up by Congress.

I don't think that will stand. Interpreting the laws is the job of the judicial branch.

 

[Crepitus]

f you would give the matter at least thirty seconds of thought, you would consider that the President and the Attorney General swear an oath to abide by the Constitution.

Which they are both currently ignoring...

 

[Crepitus]

Till it's upheld by SCOTUS.

Then what you gonna do?

No different that a state really, if a state AG tells a Governor that something is GTG it's then up to the state SC to decide when and only if a viable challenge is made.

Won't happen. They will make themselves completely irrelevant. Well, even more irrelevant than they already have.

 

[Marener]

Was he confirmed by the Senate?

 

[Crepitus]

IMO? It is really dumb for the establishment to be taking everything he does to court.

No comment on how blatantly unconstitutional this is?

 

[Rawley]

Article I. Congress wrote the law that created them.

So these agencies are exercising legislative power? Or are they exercising executive power?

I sure a fuck would have been.
