3 New Presidential Actions: Lobbying Ban, Defeat ISIS Plan, National Security Council Reorganization

Breitbart: President Donald J. Trump signed three new executive actions on Saturday afternoon, including a five year lobbying ban, reorganization of the National Security Council, and a plan to defeat the Islamic State.

From the Oval Office, President Trump signed the documents while surrounded by reporters, advisers, and his Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

Regarding the lobbying ban, Trump said:

So this is a five year lobbying ban, and this is all of the people — most of the people standing behind me will not be able to go to work.

It’s a two year ban now and it’s got full of loopholes and this is a five year ban. So you have one last chance to get out. Good, I had a feeling you were going to say that.

This was something, the five year ban, that I have been taking a lot about on the campaign trail.

Ahead of the signing, a senior administration official indicated that the lobbying ban included not only a five year ban on administration officials, but a lifetime ban on administration officials lobbying for a foreign country.  more
