-
- The first Federal laws for which Bill Clinton should be held personally
- responsible after he takes office in January 1993 are those Executive
- Orders (EOs) which
-
- (1) were issued by his predecessors
- AND
- (2) are still in effect in January 1993
- AND
- (3) he chooses not to countermand.
-
- President Clinton will have the power to countermand his predecessors'
- EOs with the stroke of a pen; thus, there is no effective difference
- between his failing to countermand an EO and having issued that EO
- himself.
-
- It is incumbent on the news media to hold Clinton personally
- responsible for his first Federal laws by
-
- (1) making the public aware of each of these laws
- AND
- (2) demanding from Clinton a specific justification for
- each existing EO that he chooses not to countermand.
