Again, you and I both disagree with his assertion that enforcing net neutrality is not within his authority. But it's not inconsistent for him to make that assertion and also to remove net neutrality regulations that his own agency previously issued, replacing them instead with a different set that requires less power to enforce. When you're talking about the executive branch, "removing regulation" means issuing guidelines (and executing them). They have the authority to do this one way or the other, and he is choosing to issue rules that involve a smaller display of executive authority when enforced. Except in a very abstract linguistic sense, it makes no sense to say that "removing regulations" is a more "active" use of authority than actually actively enforcing regulations.
