President Trump has signed an executive action to revoke two regulations for every one enacted, or as officials told AP, that they are naming the new directive a “one in, two out” plan. Federal agencies will need to revoke two regulations for every new regulation they request, and the White House will review the proposal, according to administration officials.
If it actually works this way (and you don't repeal Rule A and Rule B while sipping them into "New" Rule C), it's spectacular.
Moar repeals!
Reportedly they were all singing this song at the signing...

I can see it both ways.
One step forward, two steps back would be in the number of regulations. Two steps forward, one step back would be in rolling back regulations.

Another of President Donald Trump’s executive orders is headed to court. Requiring the removal of two old regulations before a new one is imposed goes beyond his constitutional authority, opponents allege.
Trump’s “one-in, two-out” executive order over regulations received pushback from unions and left-leaning advocacy groups. Trump claimed that the order was not directed specifically at regulations from the Obama administration but rather “a knock on many presidents preceding me.”

The plaintiffs in the case, Public Citizen, Natural Resources Defense Council and the Communications Workers of America (CWA), have filed for an injunction against the order, claiming that it “exceeds President Trump’s constitutional authority, violates his duty under the Take Care Clause of the Constitution, and directs federal agencies to engage in unlawful actions that will harm countless Americans.”
Liberals are leaning on the one govt office where they still wield great power, the judiciary. Conveniently, the idea that Congress oversees or is a check on the judiciary, has been long lost and may need some revisiting. Largely seen as "unaccountable" because of life terms, the Dems aren't thinking outside the box, yet.

He isn't exceeding congress because the regulations did not come from congress to begin with. He's trying to eliminate regulations that came out of the executive's office.
The Take Care clause does not mean that the President is our All Father who is to care for us all of our lives. These guys are morons.
