EXPLORING THE LIMITS OF EXECUTIVE CIVIL RIGHTS POLICYMAKING STEPHEN PLASS* Racial equality for blacks remains a minefield issue for American presidents. Any position a president takes is bound to alienate someone. As a result, even a well-meaning president such as Bill Clinton has had to tread very carefully when addressing this topic.1 Popular attitudes shaped by the powerful continue to dictate the extent to which presidents are able to confront continuing racial discrimination and its legacy of inequality in American life.2 Although many laws ordaining racial equality have been written, discrimination remains a normal part of life in America. This reality makes the President’s role in this area almost as difficult -

Are Caas Federal Contractors and Do They Need Affirmative Action Plans?
Are CAAs Federal Contractors and Do They Need Affirmative Action Plans? September 2007, CAPLAW Update By Rafael Munoz, CAPLAW Some Community Action Agencies (CAAs) have received notification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) will conduct a review of their compliance with a number of laws applicable to federal contractors, including requirements for affirmative action plans. Other CAAs have received a DOL “Equal Opportunity Survey” of federal contractors. Before responding to these communications, CAAs should review all of their grants and contracts to determine whether they are in fact “federal contractors” subject to OFCCP jurisdiction. In most cases, CAAs are not federal contractors and a letter to that effect should be sent to DOL. In addition, state contracts for Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Weatherization and other “pass-through” grants sometimes include language that requires CAAs to comply with the affirmative action rules that apply to federal contractors. If a CAA is not a federal contractor, it should explain this fact to the state and seek to have the language removed from its contract. (Keep in mind, though, that CAAs may be required to comply with state laws, regulations and executive orders on affirmative action, including a state requirement that they have an affirmative action plan.) As a general rule, because CAAs are federal grantees, rather than federal contractors, they are not required -

Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors
Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Vanessa K. Burrows Legislative Attorney Kate M. Manuel Legislative Attorney January 10, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41866 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Presidential Authority to Impose Requirements on Federal Contractors Summary Executive orders requiring agencies to impose certain conditions on federal contractors as terms of their contracts have raised questions about presidential authority to issue such orders. Such executive orders typically cite the President’s constitutional authority, as well as his authority pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (FPASA). FPASA authorizes the President to prescribe any policies or directives that he considers necessary to promote “economy” or “efficiency” in federal procurement. There have been legal challenges to orders (1) encouraging agencies to require the use of project labor agreements; (2) requiring that contracts include provisions obligating contractors to post notices informing employees of their rights not to be required to join a union or pay dues; and (3) directing departments to require contractors to use E-Verify to check the work authorization of their employees. These challenges have alleged, among other things, that the orders were beyond the President’s authority, under FPASA or otherwise. A 2011 draft executive order that would have directed departments to require contractors to “disclose certain political contributions and expenditures” raised similar and additional questions, as it resembled legislation that was considered, but not enacted, by the 111th Congress. The outcome of legal challenges to particular executive orders pertaining to federal contractors generally depends upon the authority under which the order was issued and whether the order is consistent with or conflicts with other statutes. -

Statehood 77 THE CANDIDATES Note from the Team There have been remarkable leaps and bounds of young people reclaiming our government. We are voting in higher numbers and regularly taking to the streets to strike and to protest. Yet still far too many of us believe our votes do not matter. And we get it. We know that this belief is not rooted in apathy but rather from a very deep reality that inside city halls, state capitals, and the chambers of Congress, elected officials make decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures without listening to our voices. It is rooted in the reality that on the campaign trail, we are promised change that counts everybody in, but in session, we are dealt legislation that negotiates people out. We can change this. We have to change this. We do that through voting AND through the actions we take every day before, on, and after election day. It is the work we do before election day that ensures campaign promises reflect us and the future we are determined to create. It is the voting we do on election day that ensures we fill the seats of power with partners in progress.
