This done properly could easily create a tradition and expectation that "all prior are void, naturally --- no need to look at motives or context any particular one. If still want it, you re-order it."Get Off My Lawn said:I still hope his first EO is to void all former EOs. It should actually be automatic where the departure of an executive automatically sunsets all of his EOs.rocky the dog said:
This would be helpful in limiting policy spill over from one administration into the next, and help to push executives to get things codified in law.
Legal matters such as an EO do not abide by common sense. They are based on paying a bunch of people to write a document such as this by committee. It take a partner, some senior lawyers, paralegals and clerical staff to bill some hours on that matter or the govt equivalent. That's at least 200 billable hours in total. At $400/h (private) or $150/h (govt) that should be fine.
