This comment is completely incidental (because I don't have the energy to comment on the sad content), but does anybody else find the typography and style of these completely bizarre? It looks stuck in the 19th century, and it is very confusing. "A BILL" is much larger than the actual title.
I know one reason for legal ideosyncrasies is that they need a very specific and precise language, and form, to leave no ambiguities. But then the contents of the bill is just one line, "The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018". I'd love them to propertly terminate their cables, or maybe terminate a cockroach, on that given day.
And, don't they have to make it a lot more specific, like what happens to the buildings, the people, ongoing contracts, what older bills have to be amended, and so on? Or is this just an order to some other branch to draft an appropriate law? I find the US government system sometimes very confusing.
