Seek repeal of the Antiquities Act
What the document says“the new Administration must seek repeal of the Antiquities Act of 1906”
The Antiquities Act lets a President designate national monuments by proclamation. The chapter argues it permitted emergency action before statutory authority existed to protect special federal lands, and that in recent years Congress has designated as monuments the areas deserving it. It separately says the Trump review of monument designations was insufficient because only two monuments in one state were adjusted, names Maine and Oregon as places where downward adjustments should have followed, and asks that such adjustments be vigorously defended to obtain a Supreme Court ruling on a President's authority to shrink a monument.
What the document actually says“the new Administration must seek repeal of the Antiquities Act of 1906”
The next team must try to repeal this old law. It dates from 1906.
A 1906 law lets a president protect land by proclamation. Those places are called national monuments. The book says Congress should do that job instead. It wants the law repealed.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
