Congress is coming back into session,
it is possible for them to do this.
If you want to see Scooter Libby Not Pardoned, or, Other Criminals deprived of that.
and to stop last minute Bush Regulations,
Pelosi and Reid could pass a rider prohibting the publication of the federal register
until 10 days after the next administration.
Seriously this would Shutdown the Bush Pardons.
Look this is the Federal Register
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
n essence, the Federal Register is a way for the government to think aloud to the people, and also serves as official journal of record for the approved acts of the U.S. Government.
including
Presidential Documents (executive orders and proclamations)
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?
If Bush pardons a war criminal and it doesn't get published, is it a fact?
Apparently NO!
I saw and can't find it, a washington Post article that said some of the last minute Clinton Pardons
were halted because cheney had them cut from the Federal Register.
I think you could pass a rider prohibiting the President, the vice president and the
Executive Office of the President from expending public resources in the publications of
any rules, proclamations or pardons after Decmber 1st.
