The Obiden Regime’s administrative state is preparing for a Trump win by implementing a surge of bureaucratic regulations before a deadline that renders them difficult to undue by a potential Trump administration.
This from breitbart.com.
Trump vowed to drain the administrative state or “deep state,” as he termed it, upon returning to office. Trump successfully deleted many of the administrative states’ rules during his first term. Biden reinstated some of them.
NOTE: The term “administrative state” specifically describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agencies, including the national security apparatus, exercising power to create and enforce their own rules.
The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not formed by the Constitution.
The Regime’s administrative state in recent months appears to be working overtime to cement the Obiden agenda into the fabric of America.
For example, a Regulatory Studies Center analysis found:
[T]he administrative state implemented 66 significant rules in April alone, a number that is greater than any month since the Reagan administration.
Axios reported:
The Obiden administrative state published 111 more regulations than Trump implemented at the same point in his term.
Further:
Many of the rules will protect the progressive agenda of ‘climate change,’ such as limiting auto tailpipe emissions and forcing power plants to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The rules implemented during an upcoming “lookback period” can be reversed in a potential Trump administration via the Congressional Review Act. Any rules put into action before the deadline cannot be reversed.
When the “lookback period” begins in 2024 is murky, but Axios reported Biden’s deadline to range between next week and September.
Steven Balla, co-director of George Washington University’s Regulatory Studies Center, told Axios:
That means Biden has little time to cement his radical left agenda within the administrative state.
Further, the administrative state holds significant institutional power because elected federal lawmakers essentially abdicate their legislative authority, according to experts at conservative think tanks.
Many conservative experts believe lawmakers should accomplish more legislative business and perform fewer public relations stunts that grow their political brand.
Many America First conservatives are working to alter the incentive structure.
Russell Vought, Trump’s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, previously told Time:
The President never had a policy process that was designed to give him what he actually wanted and campaigned on.
[We are] sorting through the legal authorities, the mechanics, and providing the momentum for a future Administration.
Before Trump left office in 2021, he signed an executive order (EO) to reclassify federal government employees into Schedule F, which would have allowed the president to enhance accountability and job performance within the bureaucratic agencies.
Trump said in May about Schedule F:
You have some people that are protected that shouldn’t be protected.
Biden canceled the order when he assumed office in 2021, but if Trump reclaims the White House, he will reportedly reimplement the executive order and purge the unelected technocrats artificially running the federal government.
Axios previously concluded about the EO’s impact:
It would effectively upend the modern civil service, triggering a shock wave across the bureaucracy.
God speed to the shock wave and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
