	Enabling Act
		The Enabling Act (in German: Ermächtigungsgesetz), passed by the Reichstag on March 23, 1933, was the second major step after the Reichstag Fire Decree through which the Nazi dictatorship was established legally.
		As with most of the laws passed in the process of Gleichschaltung, the Enabling Act is quite short, considering its consequences.
		While there had been previous enabling acts in the history of the Weimar Republic, this one was far more reaching since Article 2 allowed for changing the constitution as well.

	Enabling Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Enabling Act (Ermächtigungsgesetz in German) was passed by Germany's parliament (the Reichstag) on March 23, 1933.
		Historians, notably Klaus Scholder, have maintained that a key reason for the leadership of the Centre Party agreeing to support the Enabling Act was a promise from Hitler to negotiate the Reichskonkordat with the Vatican, a treaty that formalised the position of the Catholic church in Germany.
		During the cabinet conference on the Enabling Act, von Hindenburg's representative stated that the aged president was withdrawing from day-to-day affairs of government and that presidential collaboration on the laws decreed as a result of the Enabling Act would not be required.

		The enabling act of 1939 made it possible for towns and plantations to adopt the manager plan at the regular town meeting or at a special town meeting that was called to vote on the manager plan.

		Although the enabling act provided that towns too small for a manager may form a union and jointly hire a manager, this device has not been used.

	Michigan adopts a uniform zoning statute: The Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (5-2006) - Law Firm Mika, Meyers, Beckett & ...
		The Act allows a township board or county board of commissioners to make revisions in a proposed zoning ordinance amendment, and to adopt the revised version of the amendment, without first referring it back to its planning commission for further consideration.
		The Act appears to grant greater discretion to townships and counties with regard to the regulation of nonconforming uses, stating that a zoning ordinance "may" provide for the completion, resumption, restoration, reconstruction and extension or substitution of nonconforming uses, upon terms and conditions stated in the zoning ordinance.
		The current provisions of the Township Zoning Act and the County Zoning Act do not include this discretionary language, but instead state that townships and counties "shall" provide in their zoning ordinance for the completion, restoration, reconstruction, extension, or substitution of nonconforming uses, on reasonable terms.

	the unPatriotic Act and its sequel(s)
		The USA PATRIOT Act is similar to the Enabling Act passed in Germany in 1933 after the "burning of the Reichstag" (parliament), since both were after a terrorist act blamed on foreign infiltrators.
		The unPatriotic Act was promulgated on the fiction that the government couldn't "connect the dots" of clues about 9/11, and that it, and the Homeland Security Department, were needed to prevent another 9/11 from happening again.
		One of the most repressive acts of the new Nazi government, this one allowed for the suspension of civil liberties....The president was persuaded that the state was in danger and, hence, that the emergency measures embodied in the decree were necessary.

		The basic foundation for planning and zoning in the U.S. was laid by two standard state enabling acts published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in the 1920s.
		For many states, the Standard Acts, as they are known, still supply the institutional structure, although some procedural and substantive components may have changed.
		The first, A Standard State Zoning Enabling Act (SZEA), was developed by an advisory committee on zoning appointed by Secretary of Commerce (and later President) Herbert Hoover in 1921.

	Zoning enabling act goes to the governor's desk - Michigan Environmental Council
		Commonly called the "zoning enabling act," the legislation will unify the three separate state zoning enabling acts into one act that applies to cities/villages, townships and counties.
		While not impacting any specific authority currently in law, the new act will increase the opportunity for important cross-jurisdictional, coordinated land use planning by creating a more consistent and simpler authority for land use decision-making processes.
		Currently, more than 1,800 local units of government have land use decision-making power in the state, and they are enabled under three different zoning acts and three different planning acts (one of each for cities/villages, townships and counties).

		While this is true, he neglects to indicate that the Rules Enabling Act confers a co-equal right of procedural rulemaking on the judiciary.
		This claim is extraordinary in light of the Rules Enabling Act and more than fifty years of judicial rulemaking, none of which has been accomplished as a matter of common law development, but rather through statutory prerogative.
		That portion of the Rules Enabling Act, endorsed in Hanna, which approves judicial procedural rulemaking essentially is a statutory recognition of the inherent power of federal courts to promulgate internal rules of procedure as an attribute of judicial power.

	The USA ENABLING Act by Anthony Gregory
		Unlike Clinton’s boldly titled "Death" Act, this one was named to evoke images of the founding fathers and the American Revolution.
		USA ENABLING, to continue with the theme of honesty, can be short for "Unifying Scared Americans by Enacting Nazi-esque Acts to Butcher Liberty and Institutionalize Nationalism in Government."
		Anyone who would support the USA PATROT Act, its proposed sequel, or the anti-freedom bill currently being considered should probably not be trusted with protecting the country, especially since failing to protect it makes it easier to pass even more of these types of laws.
