HB 1194 – South Dakota Wants to Nullify Presidential Executive Orders

Legislation proposed in South Dakota seeks to nullify Presidential executive orders. HB 1194 was introduced in the South Dakota House of Repesentatives. It gives the state Attorney General the ability to review any executive order from Joe Biden (or any other President) that is deemed unconstitutional and exempt the state from compliance.

HB 1194

Introduced by State Rep. Aaron Aylward (R-Harrisburg), the focus of the bill is to “authorize the review of certain executive orders issued by the President of the United States.” Since an executive order by its very nature bypasses Congress, the Legislative Review Board would refer the executive order in question to AG Jason Ravnsborg to exempt South Dakota from it should it fall into the following categories:


    A pandemic or other public health emergency
    The regulation of natural resources
    The regulation of the agricultural industry
    The regulation of land use
    The regulation of the financial sector through the imposition of environmental, social, or governance standards, or
    The regulation of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms

Which means if HB 1194 passes, the mask mandate would be flushed, the ban on the Keystone Pipeline, oil and gas leases, messing with South Dakota farmers or ranchers, and any bans on firearms would all be null and void in the State of South Dakota. You can bet your money that Democrats will throw a fit and take it to court.

One state... even two... can't succeed doing this by themselves.

It will take a organized group of states, acting in concert, to mount an effective campaign of nullification, if such a campaign is to be made.

This is why I believe it's time for nothing less than a "New Continental Congress", convened by delegations from the traditional-freedom states (aka as "the red states") by which to chart a way forward to either seek a "restoration" of the American Republic and Constitutionally-based DC government... or else consider "the alternatives".

Kinda like the one that was convened for the first time back in 1774...

Agreed.

I rather like this.  While Federal law trumps state laws under the Supremacy Clause, a state refusing to follow a presidential edict of dubious constitutionality would force judicial review of the presidential order, leading to its complete invalidation if a Federal court found the state's judgement of unconstitutionality to be correct.
