Presidential Executive Orders have undermined our Constitutional Rights
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER
A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law
simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is by-passed.
Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30
years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
Executive Order 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of
transportation and control of highways and seaports.
Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the
communication media.
Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical
power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
Executive Order 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources
and farms.
Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work
brigades under government supervision.
Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health,
education and welfare functions.
Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a
national registration of all persons.
Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and
aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate
communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be
abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland
waterways and public storage facilities.
Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of
Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into
effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or
financial crisis.
Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to
enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial
support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all
aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and
assist the President.
