Require the repeal of two federal laws for each new federal law before it is signed. Same for executive orders.

Created by D.F. on December 30, 2012

The weight of federal legislation and regulation is harming the country. We propose that no new federal law, executive order or regulation take effect unless it replaces two of the same. For every federal bill signed by the president, two federal laws must be repealed. In addition, before signing any new executive order, two must be repealed. And, before enacting any new regulation, two regulations must be suspended. This proposal will remain in effect until there are no more than 1000 federal laws, 1000 executive orders, and 1000 regulations. At that time, new laws, orders and regulations can be enacted on a 1 for 1 basis. One repealed for each new one enacted.
