Obama doesn't say hey BLM.. go take this rancher's land because I want a new park named after me.. It doesn't work that way.
You want him to act and say stop.. Yet weren't you just complaining in another topic about how many executive actions Obama has done? Complaining when he does act on his own and then complaining when he doesn't is just silly. There is nothing he can ever do to satisfy you guys because no matter what he does or doesn't do it's always bad.

Actually you are not correct. Many government agencies, including the BLM and forest service, are creating and enforcing THOUSANDS of "regulations" which are NEVER voted on by congress. This process has been accelerating rapidly. These "regulations" are enforced by federal jail time, (which makes them laws in my book), and yet these agencies create them willy-nilly, by the thousands, with almost no legislative oversight whatsoever. It's a easy way to circumvent one branch of government. The Executive branch certainly does have the power to send out directives as to what these agencies are doing, (since there are deemed agency "regulations" not federal laws), and it does not require an executive order, simply an ordinary directive.
Do a little research on this issue. It's quite startling and not in a good way.
