Does the White House Petition website still work? I mean, I am surprised it is still up. Surely the new administration would A) not pay attention to it and B) simply scrap it to avoid maintaining it.
As far as I understand, there is no legal requirement for the White House to even entertain the petitions.[1]

- dragonwriter 10y agoIt's a cheap way to let political enemies identify themselves, though.
- noobermin 10y agoIt was an effort (at times, half hearted), at transparency by Obama, it has no legal weight, no. Do we have hope it will even be considered by Trump considering how they aren't even taking calls? No.
