Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 2, p. 50. Written by Russ Vought.

Sign an updated order on federal takings

The document says “shouldWho acts: PresidentHow: executive orderp. 50 in the PDF
What the document says

“the President should revise and sign an updated version of President Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12630 on federal takings.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 50

Executive Order 12630, signed in 1988, directs agencies to assess whether their actions amount to a taking of private property requiring compensation under the Fifth Amendment. The chapter says the President should revise and sign an updated version.

What the document actually says

“the President should revise and sign an updated version of President Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12630 on federal takings.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 50
That sentence, in plain words

President Reagan signed an order about land. The president should update it. Then he should sign it again.

What this is about

Sometimes a government rule cuts what an owner can do with land. The Constitution says owners must be paid when property is taken. An old order made agencies check for this. The book wants a new version of it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
