Lands activists urge Trump to revoke Obama’s national monuments
Western lands activists are urging Donald Trump to test the limits of executive power by revoking millions of acres that President Obama set aside as national monuments, setting up a landmark legal battle over one of the nation’s most frequently used environmental protections.
The idea that in empowering the president to designate "monuments" Congress intended to license him to declare some 300,000-acre tract off-limits to human use doesn't pass the laugh test. Not only has Obama abused this power egregiously, but Bill Clinton did too.
