Champ regime 'hiding' new regs from Congress
2016-03-25
[Examiner] The Obama administration imposed over 1,000 new rules, one-third of all proposed in 2015, without first following the law and giving Congress a look and chance to kill them, according to a new report.

The American Action Forum, which studies federal rules, regulations and other actions, said that the number of violations in 2015 was even bigger than in 2014, when a top Obama aide apologized for breaking the law and promised to make sure new rules were first passed by Congress and the General Accountability Office.

The center-right group said that despite the pledge, it found "955 rules weren't sent to GAO in 2014 and roughly 1,069 weren't reported in 2015." The report said that there were 3,408 rules issued by the administration's agencies last year.

The Congressional Review Act requires that agencies pass new rules by Congress before they are imposed, explaining the impact of each and whether they will have a major or minor economic impact.

#6  Anyone that admits they voted on something they didn't read should be voted out on principle.

#5  If it's too big to read, something's wrong.

If someone doesn't read it, something's wrong.

#2  History repeats.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

s a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
