Presidents
create many documents to issue orders and make announcements. These
presidential actions can include executive orders (EOs), presidential memoranda
(PM), and proclamations (PROCs). But,
there should be a limit!
Like
both legislative statutes and regulations promulgated by government agencies, EOs,
PM, and PROCs are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if the
orders lack support by statute or the Constitution. This judicial review rarely occurs!
Where
are the checks and balances? One reason
a president uses an executive order rather than the normal process of putting a
bill through congress and the senate is to remove those checks and balances and
to otherwise keep the average citizen out of the loop so to speak and content
references might not be necessarily reviewed for Constitutional backing; a
slight of hand in politics which allows for more corruption in our government
system. Executive orders also allow for
hidden agendas to be pushed without benefit of the “sounding board” affect that
congress and the senate generally allows.
On
October 15th 2020 Biden said Trump was ruling like a dictator with
all the executive orders Trump passed while he was president. Trump signed only 220 EOs during four years
in the white house or fifty-five per year.
Biden has already passed forty-five during his first nine days in
office. Sorry for such a wordy blog,
there is just so much to go over and I took explanations down to the bone so to
speak on all EOs, PMs and PROCs. If you have specific questions or concerns,
please write me at dave@dcvesser.com; I am no attorney, but I will
do my best to help you understand. After
all – this is the prudent person principle, right!? While you are going through the EOs, PMs, and
PROCs, try to imagine why he is choosing his topics for each to tie up nicely
in an EO, a PM, or a PROC, and not taking these specific somewhat controversial
topics to the floors of Congress and the Senate. Could it possibly be the specific wording he
wants to have in the document or a possibility that these documents would not
make it to his office without Congress’ or the Senates’ word smithing”? Or, do all these Eos, PMs, and PROCs tied
specifically to a dictator’s specific agenda?
Herein
I have attempted to encapsulate Biden’s Executive Orders, Memorandums, and
Proclamations (which total about 45 in all) during Biden’s first nine days in
the White House. Keep in mind, these
memorandums, executive orders, and proclamations support a cancel culture
agenda and do not create an atmosphere of cohesion between liberal tolerance
and capitalistic agenda. Roll up your
pant legs cuz it gets a little deep in some places. Keep informed and help to thwart this cancel
culture attempt to recreate history the
way the liberals would have you remember history. Somewhat a long and arduous read, I feel it a
worthwhile read to catch up with Biden Trivia.
DAY ONE
Memorandum
freezing approval of rules passed in final days of Trump presidency
All new
and pending rules passed in the last days of Trump’s tenure will be reviewed by
department and agency heads.
(Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?)

lacks authority to institute a nationwide mask mandate, but this order encourages masking across
America. (Forced Tolerance?!)
Executive
order coordinating a government-wide COVID-19 response

Executive
order mandating ethics pledge for government appointees
This
order requires all government appointees to sign an ethics pledge
prohibiting acceptance of gifts from registered lobbyists and lobbying for at
least two years after exiting the government.
This is redundant to the Revolving
Door Prohibitions already enforced in all 50 states. But, this law does not prohibit a president
to profit from a son’s work affiliation with a foreign government.
Proclamation
pulling funds from border wall
Biden terminated construction
and funding of the wall at the United States’ southern border could cost
billions in taxpayer dollars for canceled contracts and demolition and
deconstruction.

Executive order strengthening public health supply chain
Ramps

Executive

clear is issued. Might this be a step
toward a Universal Basic Income?

Team?
Executive order facilitating delivery of stimulus payments

release those violators back into society?
Sound like California?)
Executive

commitment to respect sovereignty of American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. Another government lie?!
Executive
order denouncing anti-Asian discrimination and xenophobia
Reestablishes
competency and sensitivity toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders as part
of the nation’s COVID-19 response. Additionally, the order directed the
