  • I Have Been Working on a Book, Stand-Ins, on The
    Workshop Participants: I have been working on a book, Stand-Ins, on the causes and consequences of temporary leadership in government, business, and religion, which is aimed at a more general audience. Given recent events, I have returned to more traditional scholarship to explore some of the issues involving temporary leadership (and the lack thereof) in federal agencies, among other topics. This paper is brand new, incomplete, and unpolished. Given its length, I would recommend reading the Introduction (pp.1-5), Scope of Actings (pp.13-27), and Statutory Questions (pp.33-42). I look forward to your reactions and suggestions for improvement. AJO Actings Anne Joseph O’Connell Stanford Law School April 1, 2019 Please do not cite or distribute beyond the workshop without permission. I. Introduction Stand-in leaders do not usually command much attention. They step up in moments of need to keep organizations running. The stereotypical interim leader is therefore a caretaker—in place to maintain stability; not to implement major changes. But not all interim leaders are caretakers. Some are auditioning for the permanent job. And a few are there to shake up the organization—so-called “fixers”. The scope of temporary leadership is vast—after all, traditional leaders are transitory, and selection procedures for more permanent leaders take time. On the public side, there are interim leaders in all branches of the federal government. In Congress, there are appointed senators, chosen by their state’s governor to fill in for an elected senator who has died or resigned, perhaps in disgrace or perhaps to take a different job.

  • Final Report Summa ·Z· G Findings of the Review of Designations Under the Antiquities Act
    THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM F FROM: SUBJECT: Final Report Summa ·z· g Findings of the Review of Designations Under the Antiquities Act Executive Summary and Impressions of the Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke In 1906, Congress delegated to the President the power to designate a monument under the Antiquities Act (Act). The Act authorizes the President singular authority to designate national monuments without public comment, environmental review, or further consent of Congress. Given this extraordinary executive power, Congress wisely placed limits on the President by defining the objects that may be included within a monument as being "historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest," by restricting the authority to Federal lands, and by limiting the size of the monument to "the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects." Congress retained its authority to make land-use designations without such limitations. Even with the restrictive language, use of the Act has not always been without controversy. In fact, even Theodore Roosevelt's first proclamation of the roughly 1,200-acre Devil's Tower in Wyoming was controversial. Since that time, the use of the Act has largely been viewed as an overwhelming American success story and today includes almost 200 of America's greatest treasures. More recently, however, the Act's executive authority is under scrutiny as Administrations have expanded both the size and scope of monument designations. Since 1996 alone, the Act has been used by the President 26 times to create monuments that are over 100,000 acres or more in size and have included private property within the identified external boundaries.

  • Ryan Zinke Secretary of the Interior
    Ryan Zinke Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke was sworn in as the 52nd Secretary of the Interior on March 1, 2017. A fifth-generation Montanan and former U.S. Navy SEAL Commander, Ryan Zinke built one of the strongest track records in the 114th Congress on championing sportsmen’s access, conservation, regulatory relief, forest management, responsible energy development, and smart management of federal lands. “As a former Navy SEAL, Ryan has incredible leadership skills and an attitude of doing whatever it takes to win,” President Donald Trump said in nominating the former congressman, who built an impressive portfolio on Interior issues ranging from federal mineral leases to tribal affairs to public lands conservation. Growing up in a logging and rail town near Glacier National Park, Ryan has had a lifelong appreciation for conserving America’s natural beauty while honoring Teddy Roosevelt’s vision of multiple-use on our public lands. He has consistently led the efforts to renew the Land and Water Conservation Fund in Congress, and has also been a firm advocate for our nation’s sportsmen to gain access to our public lands with the SCORE Act and SHARE Act. Zinke also coauthored the Resilient Federal Forest Act, which initiated new reforms for revitalizing America’s timber towns and preventing wildfires by emphasizing the collaborative process. Zinke is widely praised for his voting record supporting the Teddy Roosevelt philosophy of managing public lands, which calls for multiple-use to include economic, recreation and conservation. He has pledged to explore every possibility for safely and responsibly repealing bad regulations and using public natural resources to create jobs and wealth for the American people.

The plan to speed up project approvals comes after President Donald Trump in June ordered the Interior Department and other agencies to scale back environmental reviews under special powers he has during the coronavirus emergency. More than 60 projects targeted for expedited environmental reviews were detailed in an attachment to a July 15 letter from Assistant Interior Secretary Katherine MacGregor to White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow.” [Associated Press, 09/02/20] ● One Of The Expedited Projects Is The Eastern North Dakota Alternate Water Supply (ENDAWS). “The Department's efforts to streamline environmental reviews have been underway since the start of the Trump Administration.

  • Sovereignty-Affirming Subdelegations: Recognizing the Executive’S Ability to Delegate Authority and Affirm Inherent Tribal Powers
    Stanford Law Review Volume 72 April 2020 NOTE Sovereignty-Affirming Subdelegations: Recognizing the Executive’s Ability to Delegate Authority and Affirm Inherent Tribal Powers Samuel Lazerwitz* Abstract. Bears Ears National Monument, as proclaimed by President Obama in 2016, realized a bold vision of cooperation between the executive branch and Native nations by elevating a coalition of Native nations as co-managers of a national monument. This proposed system of collaborative management relied on a broad interpretation of the executive branch’s power to subdelegate authority—that is, to redelegate authority delegated to it by Congress—to Native nations. While the Supreme Court has explained that the nondelegation doctrine imposes fewer restrictions on Congress’s ability to delegate when it shares power with Native nations than it would for delegations to nonsovereign entities outside the federal government, the Court has provided no similar guidance for executive subdelegations to Native nations. Lower federal courts similarly have failed to develop a unified approach. They have disagreed on whether Native nations’ inherent powers justify treating them differently from other subdelegatees. This Note presents a new understanding of the legality of the executive branch’s efforts to share its power with Native nations by synthesizing the Supreme Court’s recognition of Congress’s ability to affirm tribal sovereignty, the subdelegation doctrine as articulated by lower federal courts, and the executive branch’s history of combining federal and tribal authority. In doing so, this Note describes a new application of the subdelegation doctrine for Native nations: When federal agencies engage in sovereignty-affirming subdelegations— subdelegations that affirm tribal sovereignty by intermingling federal and tribal power— they should be presumed to have acted permissibly unless Congress has expressed a contrary intent.
