    Biden Overreaches in Using Antiquities Act to Create National Monuments

    Since 2022, President Joe Biden has used the Antiquities Act to make five federal statues, collectively&nbsp, spanning&nbsp, more than 1.5 million acres of national area. Although these proclamations are made with the intention of protecting traditional or historical sites, they frequently go against the laws and local economies.

    The American Forest Resource Council has rightly&nbsp, challenged&nbsp, this administrative overreach by calling on the&nbsp, Supreme Court&nbsp, to examine the Antiquities Act.

    Some Americans are concerned about the effects of presidents having the power to veto or dismiss federal law continuously through the Antiquities Act statement, according to Council President Travis Joseph.

    One such event challenges Biden’s 2021 growth of the Bears Ears National Monument, led by Utah alongside personal recreationists and mine objectives. The plaintiffs contend that the Antiquities Act does n’t permit arbitrary and excessive expansions that violate local rights and interests. The situation is headed to the 10th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals after being&nbsp, dismissed&nbsp, by the U. S. District Court of Utah past August.

    Americans reliant on gardening, logging, mine, and energy recovery have felt the brunt of the damage inflicted by these national laws. Consider, for instance, Biden’s new classification of almost 1 million &nbsp, acres&nbsp, in Arizona to make the Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.

    This area has some of our government’s richest uranium reserves. While existing mine businesses continue, Biden’s decision makes upcoming uranium mining operations difficult. This not only disregards regional economic objectives, but even exacerbates our&nbsp, dependence&nbsp, on Russian uranium to preserve our nuclear power plants running.

    Biden’s choice caused animals to be grazing on the area in addition to the threat of national security. Ranchers lost&nbsp, nearly&nbsp, 40, 000 hectares of eating place.

    Another farmers should be concerned, to. People property rentals to cattle farmers support more than 10, 000 employment and&nbsp,$ 1.5 billion &nbsp, in complete financial activity. The president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Todd Wilkinson, says:” Washington officials are trampling local communities, area directors, producers and farmers with the injury of a pen”.

    Used correctly, the Antiquities Act serves a noble intent in preserving America’s history. However, the unregulated expert it grants to leaders makes it possible for executive overreach by defusing legislative purpose and disregarding community passions.

    For excess is exemplified in the fight between the Antiquities Act and the&nbsp, O&amp, C Act, which governs the administration of Oregon and California Railroad Revested Lands, or O&amp, C Lands. These lands are designated for logging under the O&C Act to promote responsible timber harvesting and financial stability for local communities.

    In January 2017, only before his name expired, President Barack Obama’s administrative action to develop the Cascade- Siskiyou National Monument by more than 50, 000 acres immediately defied the O&amp, C Act. This decision drastically reduced the property that is available for timber harvesting, which poses a threat to those who rely on these assets for their livelihoods.

    Half of the forest profit generated in the Oregon and California counties is shared with the individual local authorities, where it funds services such as highway maintenance, law enforcement, and training. Reduced land availability also violates existing laws, which also result in lower incomes for residents and less money for the provision of public services.

    If the Antiquities Act is still in effect, it will continue to allow the president’s executive power to stifle established law. Judicial review by the&nbsp, Supreme Court&nbsp, offers a chance to prevent a future president from pulling the rug out from under the farmers, miners, loggers, and their communities.

    We can ensure that our nation’s treasures are preserved for future generations by reducing executive overreach and restoring accountability to the monument designation process without sacrificing the integrity of the law.
