Ah, my read of that was that as of October 21, 1998, the President would have to submit a report to close USAID (whereas previously the President did not have to submit a report). However, your reading makes more sense.


It’s not his reading. It’s the only reading.


Did you read the bottom? Clinton already executed this in 1999.

>> Memorandum of President of the United States, Mar. 31, 1999, 64 F.R. 17079, provided...


Uh, that obviously cannot be executing a power that expired 60 days after October 21, 1998.

(It was actually delegating power to revise the USAID reorganization plan—which was not a abolition—and to set the effective date of then part of the reorg that was not transfer of mandatory functions to the Secretary of State.)
