President Trump Working to Roll Back Sweeping Bureacratic Actions of the Previous Administration

"TRUMP IS OVERWRITING OBAMA'S UNLAWFUL GREEN SCHEMES" - Rich Lowry, New York Post Rich Lowry in the New York Post writes on President Trump's effort to roll back the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan, which was imposed with "tendentious readings of the law and sweeping bureaucratic actions." Lowry comments President Trump "has operated within constitutional lines better than his technocratic predecessor," and the real problem with President Obama's environmental plan is that it must not be instituted by "strained legal interpretations alone," which it originally was, enough so that the Supreme Court blocked "its implementation pending all the lawsuits against it." Furthermore, although President Obama's Climate Action Plan was designed to have an impact on global warming, Lowry reports the most it would do is "reduce the global temperature by 15 one-thousands of a degree by 2100." Lowry concludes that President Obama's "impatience with Congress and his administrative imperiousness," led to presumptuous polices, and "what he imposed unilaterally is subject to unilateral reversal."
