Geee Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The Hill : Republicans are sounding the alarm about a deluge of “midnight regulations” that could be pushed through agency pipelines the waning days of the Obama administration. It has become increasingly common for outgoing presidents to preside over late-term bursts of rules, as they look to cement their marks on Washington and accomplish remaining policy goals before they exit the White House. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, for instance, each issued flurries of regulations in the weeks between the election of their successor and their departure from office. Republicans — who warned of a torrent of new rules ahead of the 2012 elections, only to see President Obama re-elected — are already raising the specter again, even though there is more than a year left in the current administration. “This administration has already dropped a lot of controversial regulations, and I’m a little concerned about what could be coming at the last moment,” Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) told The Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
