Washington: US President Donald Trump has signed yet another executive order declaring that only the attorney general or the President can speak for the US when interpreting the meaning of laws. According to a report, the order now bars federal regulators or bureaucrats to interpret the law for the US.
"The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties," the order states, reported Washington Times.
This was part of three executive orders that Trump signed -- the other being order expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and a memorandum requiring federal agencies to report waste, fraud and abuse that's uncovered and to detail programs that are eliminated, the report added.
White House staff secretary Will Scharf was quoted as saying that the new order on the interpretation of the law "reestablishes a long-standing norm" in the US. This comes as Trmup's critics believe that he may ignore judicial orders.
As per the order, agencies like the Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Communications Commission will have the power to impose fines and regulations. According to the report, the order mentioned that "previous administrations have allowed so-called ‘independent regulatory agencies’ to operate with minimal Presidential supervision."
