lancer22 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Your reading the letter O wrote to the senate & congress. This is the actual extension letter extending to 5/22/2012... Notice from the President regarding the continuation of the national emergency with respect to the stabilization of Iraq On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, the President declared a national emergency protecting the Development Fund for Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has an interest, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701‑1706). The President took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq. In Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13438 of July 17, 2007, the President modified the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 and took additional steps in response to this national emergency. Because the obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, as modified in scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Orders 13315, 13350, 13364, and 13438, must continue in effect beyond May 22, 2011. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to the stabilization of Iraq. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

Seems like people aren't recognizing that there's a discrepancy here in articles...both look legit...the one you posted seems to be the official letter while the other is the text version I guess? Could it be misdirection at the highest level? Have yet to see anyone else comment on the disconnect... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer22 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 leola both are correct. one is the extension the other is his explanation to senate/congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menholt Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 IMO the 2 different documents are one is showing the extended date of the May 22nd 2012...because i think thats probably the law to do so...but the other is to the Senate and Congress telling them why he did extend it...because it would have expired on May 22nd 2011 and he wants to give them till the June 30th 2011 date to see if they can lift the chapter VII before then and RV the currency...

juni Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Hey, ya'll don't worry! I didn't catch that was not the actual EO, but I will venture to say that the reason he has it at one year is because anything based on the National Emergencies Act provides for an automatic termination at one year, and since the EO is based on it, he is simply following what the Act provides. The fact that he includes language referring to the UN deadline is important, because it implies it will end by or before then. No biggie.

Dalite Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm sorry but that's not how I read it. It looks to me like he is saying they will "extend if necessary so that I may determine whether to continue beyond June 30, 2011" And we all know what happens when Iraq hits a dead line. I'm thinking September or October if were lucky. JMO The EO has a 1 year life span. It can be continued at the will of the president, based on the state of the emergency.

juni Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Here's the last sentence that refers to the "one year" extension: "Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to the stabilization of Iraq." He's just tracking the language of the Act, that's all. And like Z said, he can end it sooner (he will just have to sign another piece of paper). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaborniake Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Actually, this makes sense. O extends the act for one year as is his right. He also sends a letter specifically stating the June 30 date for determining Iraq's progress and the need for the EO to continue. O wouldn't extend out only to the UN's June 30 date. If by the 30th Iraq gets their **** together, with a swipe of the pen O ends the EO. If he had only extended to the end of June, he might have had to extend again if Iraq didn't do what they are supposed to. This one year extension is the smart move, and covers all scenarios. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't we only go by the UN resolutions? As they expire, it gives the U.S. bargaining power, wouldn't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaborniake Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yes, I think the UN dates are the most important. As Juni said, O's extension was determined by staying in line with the language of the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Z said. Here is something else. Obama said this in the address to Congress: "My Administration will evaluate Iraq's ongoing efforts in this regard, as well as its progress in resolving outstanding debts and claims arising from actions of the previous regime, so that I may determine whether to continue beyond June 30, 2011". www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/17/message-president-regarding-continuation-national-emergency-respect-stab Well, excuse me Mr. Prez, but you just signed a one year EO extension, right? Whaddya mean "so I may determine whether to continue beyond June 30?" This tells me that there will be NO EXTENSIONS BY THE U.N. , and Obama knows that. It is DO OR DIE by June 30th!

As they expire, it gives the U.S. bargaining power, wouldn't you think? EOs are extra constitutional powers granted to the president that allo the POTUS to Declare War on an ongoing Emergency They were granted during the first FDR administration and are an offshoot of HR1491, signed into law March 9, 1933. Their origin is found in 12 USC 95a and 95b. The congressional record of the 73rd Congress outlines their inception and the discussion surrounding their "birth" IIRC, it can be found around pages 81 thru 119 We do not want to be limited by any UN Resolution. EOs are enough of a violation of sovereignty. Juni has a firm grasp on what an EO is, and can do. The house and Senate have both tried to limit extraconstitutional powers such as WEP, but basically discovered when they amended 12 USC 95 a, they effectively voted themselves out of the loop. We have lived under on declared State of Emergency for every second since March 9, 1933. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel that the EO are bargaining ship power for the U.S. As the UN Resolutions expire, it leaves the US sole protector of the funds, as the US Treasury holds the funds. Now, what I take away from this is.... That the GOI is looking to find ways to not need protection of the assets and the US Govt. will monitor this up until June 30th to see if the EO is even necessary. When someone finds me an article stating the UN Resolution has been extended beyond June 30th, than I'll be a little more depressed & deflated. And only because the reasoning behind that is the GOI loves to drag their feet. They are the best at procrastinating...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Breitling, Iraq would have had to request an extension of the DFI deadline at least 60 days before the June 30 deadline (see chat recently posted). He says that they did not do that. Therefore, there will be no extension of the UN deadline re: DFI. TS I believe in the RV; I don't believe in the cult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that removes the ability for them to drag their feet will only expedite the matter to be completed. Now, no I understand that some things should not be rushed an let unfold naturally...
