text: Every President has their good points and their bad points and President Trump has a wider spread than some, but his administration is getting it right when it comes to the reduction of regulation.
  
  Unlike popular myth, the president really can't control the legislative agenda. That's Congress's job. FDR was able to bully them and that created the popular myth of the POTUS as king, able to do whatever he wants, but it is indeed a myth. Congress was always meant to be the primary governing body through its law-making capacity.
  
  But, for a century now, the administrative state (technically under the auspices of the POTUS, but continuing from one administration to another) has added layers of regulation on top of laws that strangle our economy. Alaskans know this better than any other state.
  
  So, good job, Sec. Chao and President Trump, for recognizing that red tape strangles and you can still have robust environmental protections without federal abuse of the states.
