26. Didn't Bush* by Executive Order lock up all Presidential Papers?
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 09:30 AM by Toots
One of Bush*'s first official acts was to break congressional Law and disregard the Presidential Papers Act, an Official Act of Congress that required the release of all Presidentiual Papers after that President had been out of office for a period of more than twelve years and allowed the papers could be released after eight years. Reagan had been out of office by more than twelve years when Bush* was sworn in and his dad had been out more than eight years. Bush* rewrote this Congressional Act on his own and disregarded the Law. It certainly would not be the only time nor the last time he did so..When Congress failed to even show concern over this obvious unlawful behavior I knew we were in for a bumpy ride..
