Restricting the Executive Orders
Constitutional vision of separated powers necessary for
liberty
By US Rep. Ron Paul
One of the chief complaints of the American colonists
against King
George
was that he had usurped powers that were not rightfully his,
and then
used
those powers to the disadvantage of the people.
In the ensuing years, those revolutionaries created a
federal government
that was not only strictly limited, but also strictly
divided among
three
co-equal branches, each with unique and limited powers and
each with a
coequal duty to uphold and sustain the Constitution of the
United
States.
Under a truly constitutional approach to our government,
every branch
has
the ability to check the abuses of power by the others.
But this system of "checks" has grown drastically out of
balance, if
indeed
it ever truly was in balance. But the errors of the past,
whether
distant
or
recent, should not be reason to leave the future shackled to
reckless
policies grown from disdainful philosophies.
The most glaring example of our out-of-balance system is the
power of
the
president to create laws through the use of the "Executive
Order." Our
system grants all legislative power to the legislative
branch, while
Chief
Executive exists to "faithfully execute" those laws. ...
I have introduced legislation, along with Rep. Jack Metcalf
of
Washington,
that would bring our federal system into proper balance. The
Separation
of
Powers Restoration Act (HR2655) prohibits a presidential
order from
having
the effect law by restricting the scope of the directives.
In addition,
it
repeals the 1973 War Powers Act, which -- despite the
constitutional
prohibition -- granted broad war-making authority to the
Office of the
President. Further, the legislation suspends all of the
"national
emergencies" which have been declared since 1976, when
Congress last
canceled them. Still on the books are "emergencies" relating
to Iraq and
the Soviet bloc. These emergency declarations give
presidents great
authority, even if the situation no longer presents a threat
to our
national
security.
Finally, and perhaps most significantly, my legislation
grants legal
standing to individual Members of Congress and Senators,
state officials
and, of course, private citizens who believe a president's
Executive
Order
has overstepped constitutional bounds and negatively
impacted them,
their
rights, their property or their business. ...

INTRO: Last year, on April 9, 1998, this same article was
put out on the
internet - SAFAN NO. 1156. The Information in this article
is STILL current
and up to date - including the telephone numbers of folks to
call to answer
your questions. Last night I talked to Don Casey. His
follow-up to this
article
is that he and his group are tracking the events in
Birmingham, and in
Alabama - as well as other cities - very closely. Regional
government is
being established through the Regional Planning Commissions
- and of
course, land use accomplished through zoning regulations.
This is
happening in all of our major cities and a lot of the
smaller ones, too.

World Government - Is our country ready?
Much has been said in recent years about world
government and the United
Nations. The United Nations denies that it has such
aspirations. The truth
lies
in their own publications. Quoting from the United Nations
Human
Development
of 1994 page 88:
"Mankind's problems can no longer be solved by national
governments.
What is needed is a World Government. This can best be
achieved by strength-
ening the United Nations system. In some cases, this would
mean changing
the role of UN agencies from advice-giving to
implementation. Thus, the FAO
(Food and Agriculture Organization) would become the World
Ministry of
Agriculture, UNIDO (United Nations Industrialized
Development Organization)
would become the World Ministry of Industry, and the ILO
(International Labor
Organization) the World Ministry of Social Affairs."
What can we expect from a world government?
Private land ownership a thing of the past.
1. Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial
role it plays in
human
settlements, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset,
controlled by
individuals
and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the
market. Private land
ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and
concentration of
wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if
unchecked, it may
become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation
of development
schemes. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the
provision of
decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can
only be achieved
if land is used in the interests of society as a whole."1
Governmental control of population.
"3. A human settlement policy must seek harmonious
integration or co-
ordination of a wide variety of components, including, for
example,
population
rowth and distribution, employment, shelter, land use,
infrastructure and
services. Governments must create mechanisms and
institutions to develop
and implement such a policy."2
5.23 An assessment should also be made on national
population carrying
capacity in the context or satisfaction of human needs and
sustainable
development, and special attention should be given to
critical resources,
such
as water and land and environmental factors such as
ecosystem health and
biodiversity."3
Local Agenda 21
The United Nations officially began a partnership
program in 1992
between
local communities and International Council for Local
Environmental
Initiatives.
The purpose of this organization and the partnership is to
help implement the
United Nations agenda within the local communities. Twenty
three local
governments (Chattanooga, Portland, Atlanta to name a few)
have joined this
partnership. The process is continuing through out the
United States. 4
Conclusion: The ideology of the United Nations and the
United States are
incompatible. If this country is to retain it's
representative republican
form of
government, we must withdraw from this flawed organization.
