That's the problem with executive rule making - changes in the executive lead to changes to the rules. If the rule was not made by consensus, why expect its repeal to be by consensus either?
- MrZongle2 10y agoAgreed. Whenever President Obama would make an "end-run around Congress" by signing a new Executive Order, nobody should have been cheering it because each EO can be easily nullified by a successor. Consensus is neither easy nor guaranteed to generate a result that makes all parties equally happy. But it is more likely to prevent radical changes in the future.
