Point 6 seems like it may be important.
MAGA party!
All I can tell is now trump can be a lobbyist?
Let me explain something about this order : It superseded Executive Order 13490, put in place by OBAMA.
So Trump put in his own order, to supersede Obama's. Then he revoked his own EO.
It is a legal and clever way of undoing EO's. That is what this order is about.
Don't read into the order too much, as it was merely a carry over of Obama's, which is now revoked in whole and not part.
Trump's Revocation : https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-revocation-executive-order-13770/
Section 1. Revocation. Executive Order 13770 of January 28, 2017, “Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees,” is hereby revoked, effective at noon January 20, 2021. Employees and former employees subject to the commitments in Executive Order 13770 will not be subject to those commitments after noon January 20, 2021.
The original EO
which superseded Obama's 2009 EO.
This was a clever move to revoke Obama's EO.
I love you. tyvm
Prevents people leaving administration from becoming lobbyist
This would be a kill shot for every democrat if he really does have a plan tommorow , they will never be able to circle back to this again
Looks like that EO prevented people in his administration from lobbying after their tenure for x amount of time, and now he's revoking it.
I think Trump doesn't want his hands tied by his own EO if he has to step down tomorrow and hand over control.
