Bush leaves his successor nasty surprise

President Obama spent his first full day in the Oval Office dealing with high-profile domestic and foreign policies while questions emerged about whether Bush administration regulations issued on Wednesday have the force of law.

Even though Bush is out of the White House, some of his final imprints on government policies appeared in the Federal Register, the government’s official publication for executive orders and government rules.

A number of last-minute rules that the Bush administration wanted to publish appeared in Wednesday’s Federal Register, including a controversial final regulation that has attracted criticism from organized labor.

The Federal Register was not published on Monday or Tuesday, which were both federal holidays in the nation’s capital.
