President Donald Trump froze the ability of unelected bureaucrats at federal agencies to impose rules that affect the whole nation on Monday, signing the executive order on stage at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

The order prohibits federal agencies from proposing or implementing any new rules and regulations unless they are first reviewed and approved by a department head appointed by President Trump.
Trump’s executive action serves to prevent bureaucrats hostile to his agenda from forcing through drastic last-minute regulations before all of Trump’s cabinet picks can be confirmed and he takes full control of the administrative state.
The order also stops any rules that have been submitted for publication in the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) but have not yet been published and put into effect.
The freeze can, in emergency cases, be overridden at the discretion of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Federal agencies will also be required to consider postponing for 60 days any rules already published by the OFR but have not yet gone into effect.
During that 60-day period, the rules will be reviewed to ensure that they do not pose any concerns of legality or policy.
If any concerns are discovered, the agencies will work with the OMB director to determine a further course of action.
Trump’s halt to bureaucratic rulemaking attacks one of the Biden administration’s favorite tools for imposing unilateral regulations on the American people.
Within months of his inauguration, President Biden used the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to attempt to impose a COVID vaccine mandate for all workers employed by companies with over 100 employees.
That extreme mandate was eventually overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, thanks in large part to the conservative justices appointed by Trump during his first term in office.
In his final weeks in office, Biden appeared poised to effectively ban cigarettes through a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule dramatically restricting the amount of nicotine legally allowed in cigarettes.

Regulatory Agencies need to have the ability to make up rules and regulations ended. If it is important enough to be a regulation, then it is important enough to be a law and go through legislative prosses.
Makes perfect sense to me .
Democrats ( Biden ) … ( Mills ) appoint a whole slew of new “ commissions” and “ agencies “ .
Those “ new agencies and commissions” make a whole bunch of brand new rules and regulations
They have to justify their new cost to the taxpayers don’t they ?
What else do they do but come up with “ new stuff” to control , regulate , and tax .
Lots and lots of big paying jobs for party pundits and loyalists . More pigs at the trough .
Democrats have loaded Washington , Augusta , and the Entire Country with these party pundit pigs .
Trump is NOT fooled or ignorant to what these Socialist Democrats have done .
Donald Trump is the new sheriff in town and this nonsense HAS TO STOP .
WAKE UP VOTERS OF MAINE ……THIS IS WHAT AUGUSTA HAS DONE TO YOU !
