As much as the little arrogant tyrant can get away with.

ps: His mucking around with our Constitution has now given future presidents a lot of power that could effect more of our freedoms.

It's going to take alot of manpower to undo the damage this moron caused.

He'll have to put in double shifts to even tie what Clinton did in 28,000 pages of the Federal Register listings which what Bush is doing now.

Carter did the most damage with his midnight regulation push. Every President has done this. It's just a matter of how much you all despise Bush will determine if this is good for the country or not.

I think most of his actions are right on line. Others will have a totally different view.

There is already a thread that has been turned into a pi**ing contest about Bush and the normal crap talk from both sides here.

Here's a list of some of the proposed bills/laws.

OP's Source

Here is a rundown of rules and regulations that the Bush administration is pushing through the rulemaking process in its waning days.

Gotta make sure the government can spy on you whenever they want to!

EPA Won’t Regulate a Contaminant in Drinking Water

******SKIP******
Formal Name: Drinking Water: Preliminary Regulatory Determination on Perchlorate

At Issue: Perchlorate is a chemical component of rocket fuel that can contaminate water both naturally and, more frequently, through improper disposal at rocket test sites, military bases and chemical plants. Cleaning it up would cost billions of dollars. But the contaminant has been linked to thyroid problems in young children, pregnant woman and newborns, leaving critics concerned for the developmental health of those most vulnerable to the chemical's effects.

[sarcasm]Who needs clean water anyway! And so a few people get sick, how else are these chemical companies going to make money unless they can just dump their excess chemicals anywhere that's handy and cheap![/sarcasm]

The Interior Department Could Approve Construction Projects with Less Concern for Protected Species

******SKIP******
At Issue: The Department of the Interior wants to allow agencies to make their own determination of whether a development project, such as highway or dam construction, would significantly harm protected species, rather than relying on extensive scientific review as they have done previously. The DOI said this will eliminate or reduce cumbersome consultations in situations where the effects “are so inconsequential, uncertain, unlikely or beneficial that they are, as a practical matter, tantamount to having no effect on listed species or critical habitat.” Critics worry about giving so much discretion to federal agencies that may lack scientific expertise.

[sarcasm]Survival of the fittest, they're endangered because they're weak![/sarcasm]

Law Enforcement Would Get Greater Surveillance Authority

[sarcasm]You just can't EVER have enough authority to be able to spy on somebody![/sarcasm}

EPA Revises Air Quality Standards for Lead

******SKIP******
Public Comments

In conclusion, the extreme neurotoxicity of lead, particularly for the developing fetus, infant, and young child, would render it irresponsible for EPA to consider relaxing the regulation of airborne lead emissions. The American Academy of Pediatrics urges you in the strongest terms to maintain and expand the regulatory standards related to lead as a criteria pollutant in its final options for action on this matter. -Jay E. Berkelhamer, MD, FAAP

Well, there's just a few that he might sign into law before he leaves office.
