Trump uses executive orders to restore nation

To the Editor:

In my opinion, there is some pretty clear evidence when a person reads a number of President Trump’s executive orders. Trump is using executive power to restore separation of powers in our Constitution. He is taking strides to undermine the power of the federal bureaucracy through executive actions. He truly is starting to drain the swamp.

President Trump has signed orders instructing federal agencies to roll back regulations and attempting to ensure they remain accountable to the people through presidential supervision. Trump has directed agencies to review unlawful or burdensome regulations, such as those raising serious constitutional difficulties, resting on unlawful delegation of legislative powers or implicating socially, politically or economically significant matters without clear statutory authority. I feel that is truly an attempt to end federal overreach.

Trump, in my opinion, is attacking Congress’ past delegation of its legislative responsibilities. Hopefully, he will succeed and continue to pursue his reset of our Constitution and separation of powers. Drain the swamp … It’s certainly much larger than I ever imagined.
