President's rule imposed in Bihar President A P J Abdul Kalam gave his assent to the imposition of President's rule in Bihar on Monday. I think the right thing for Bihar is not imposing President's Rule but the Central Govt. The Union Cabinet, which met on Monday evening, had recommended imposing President's Rule following the failure of all political parties to form a government in the state. www.rediff.com /election/2005/mar/07kalam.htm   (371 words)

The Human Rights Tragedy under Taylor's Rule Indeed, President Charles Taylor and his loyalists are making Liberia their personal estate of official criminal gangs whose avowed aim is to plunder the wealth. On the contrary, the Liberia security agencies under the supervision of President Taylor are the ones who violate fundamental human rights - who kill, who torture, who participate in involuntary disappearance, who arbitrarily arrest and detained persons awaiting order from the president who presides over summary execution. Even the Legislature is now complaining that President Taylor usurps its functions. www.theperspective.org /tragedy.html   (371 words)

Africa: Global Gag Rule Finally, we the participants vehemently oppose the Global Gag Rule that was reinstituted in January 2001 by U.S. President George W. Bush and which clearly impedes efforts to reduce unsafe abortion. Participants also called on African governments and the global community to be accountable to citizens and other stakeholders by opposing the Global Gag Rule imposed in January 2001 by the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush. Currently there is also uncertainty and internal debate in Washington about the extent to which this rule will also be applied to new U.S. funds promised by President Bush to fight global aids. www.africaaction.org /docs03/gag0303.htm   (2449 words)

BBC NEWS South Asia Direct rule for key Indian state Under direct - or presidential - rule, India's central government rather than local politicians runs a state on behalf of the president. The BBC's Abhishek Prabhat in Delhi says that the president's acceptance of direct rule for Bihar is likely to be a formality. The president does, however, have the power - occasionally exercised by some of his predecessors in different circumstances - to send back a cabinet direct rule request for further consideration. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/south_asia/4325425.stm   (676 words)

Though President Clinton rescinded the policy for the eight years of his presidency, President Bush issued an executive order to reinstate the Global Gag rule during his first official day in office in January 2001.

Divide And Rule ... For Now A president that has divided the country like none other, despite the unity we shared after 9/11. A president that has committed crimes against the environment, catered to his cronies at the expense of poor and middle class Americans, and turned virtually the entire world against our nation.

This is the point at which a bill technically becomes “An Act.” It is, then, sent over to the Senate, where the Parliamentarian, in the name of the Senate President, refers it to the appropriate committee, as provided for in the Rules of the Senate. A special resolution or “Rule” can be obtained from the Committee on Rules, which has specific jurisdiction over resolutions relating to the order of business in the House. www.njslom.org /nations_laws.html   (2951 words)

John Muir Exhibit On April 15, 2000, John Muir's vision was behind the Presidential Proclamation of Giant Sequoia National Monument, a process which John Muir was instrumental in starting nearly 100 years ago by urging President Theodore Roosevelt to protect America's treasures under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1906. In 1892, John Muir and other supporters formed the Sierra Club "to make the mountains glad." John Muir was the Club's first president, an office he held until his death in 1914. His words and deeds helped inspire President Theodore Roosevelt's innovative conservation programs, including establishing the first National Monuments by Presidential Proclamation, and Yosemite National Park by congressional action. www.sierraclub.org /john_muir_exhibit   (706 words)

Court backs president on relaxed air standards Arthur Stamoulis, a spokesman for the Clean Air Council, another of the groups that appealed the federal rules, said the most significant part of the ruling was that new source review is applicable when a plant increases its actual emissions, as opposed to beyond a plant's previous capacity to emit pollution, as the industry argued, But the states and the environmental groups embraced the ruling as a "mixed bag" that also rolled back some of the more problematic elements of the administration's 2002 rule, strengthening the states' enforcement abilities and preserving their right to adopt standards tougher than the federal rule. The appeals court panel said it is not clear if the Bush administration changes to the rule will lead to increased pollution emissions. www.postgazette.com /pg/05176/528429.stm   (706 words)

Bush’s Rule Continues to Globally Gag In June, 2001 the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy announced it was filing suit against President Bush and The Global Gag Rule for censoring the free speech of American citizens. The Global Gag Rule initially called the Mexico City Policy, was named for the population conference in 1984 where the United States first outlined what would become policy in both Ronald Reagan and George Bush administrations. The Global Gag Rule prohibits foreign governments and non-governmental organizations from using US family planning funds if they provide abortion services or engage in any lobbying or educational activities on abortion issues. www.fwhc.org /health/global-gag-rule.htm   (551 words)

Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. - Global Gag Rule The global gag rule is a throwback to 1984, when President Reagan first imposed the restrictions, which were then revoked by President Clinton in 1993. What's at the heart of the global gag rule is the attempt by U.S. anti-choice policymakers to attach strings to international family planning funds in order to stifle family planning and abortion-related activities in other countries, even if the activities are legal. Under the global gag rule, foreign family planning agencies may not receive U.S. assistance if they provide abortion services, including counseling or referrals on abortion, or lobby to make or keep abortion legal in their own country. www.plannedparenthood.org /pp2/portal/international/globalresource/resource-global-gag-rule.xml   (610 words)

The Bush Global Gag Rule: Endangering Women's Health and Democracy In 2000, Congress and the Clinton Administration eliminated the Global Gag Rule from the FY 2001 appropriations legislation, but withheld the release of international family planning funding until February 15, 2001 to allow the new president to decide whether or not to re-impose the Global Gag Rule. The Global Gag Rule is government censorship of political speech that President Bush disagrees with: speech that promotes abortion law reform and public education. The Global Gag Rule erects barriers to the development of the democratic process in other countries, the promotion of civil society and development of NGOs abroad, and the enhancement of women's equality and participation in the political process. www.crlp.org /pub_fac_ggrbush.html   (1288 words)

Regarding the Television Address of Iranian President Khatami A clear commitment to the rule of law in human affairs, as was strongly emphasized by President Khatami, appears to represent a most encouraging development, one which the Bahá'í community welcomes warmly. We feel confident that, if the Iranian authorities act quickly to give practical effect to President Khatami's commitment to the rule of law, we will see a steady improvement in Iran's international relations. A: The clearest expression of what the Iranian authorities should do can be found in the United Nations General Assembly resolution (A/RES/52/142) of 12 December 1997, calling for the emancipation of the Bahá'í Community of Iran. www.bahai-library.com /?file=uhj_khatami_cnn.html   (1288 words)

Let the Senate Majority Rule (washingtonpost.com) It is past time to restore Senate traditions and to ensure that the rules for confirming federal judges by majority vote remain the same, regardless of which party controls the White House and the Senate. Byrd noted that "President Bush has renominated 20 men and women to the federal bench, seven of whom the Senate rejected last year." In fact, not one of the seven nominees to whom he referred was "rejected" by the Senate last year. In his March 4 op-ed column, " 'Nuking' Free Speech," Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.) voiced his opposition to a plan to restore Senate traditions and the constitutional authority of a majority of senators to confirm the president's judicial nominees. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A25591-2005Mar10.html   (334 words)

TalkLeft: Bush Won't Rule Out Military Action Against Iran It would be foolish for a sitting president to rule out military action against any openly hostile nation, irrespective of the source of their hostility. Posted by pigwiggle at January 17, 2005 09:23 PM Even if military action isn’t possible it would be a horrible mistake for the president of the US to say as much. Posted by Saint Fnordius at January 18, 2005 12:35 AM "Military action" is probably going to be limited to lobbing a few bombs, claiming success in "destroying the illegal and hidden bomb program" and then flying back home. talkleft.com /new_archives/009357.html   (9309 words)

Military junta overthrows absent president in Mauritania - The Boston Globe President Maaoya Sid'Ahmed Ould Taya, who himself seized power in a 1984 coup and dealt ruthlessly with his opponents, was out of the country when presidential guardsmen cut broadcasts from the national radio and television stations at dawn and seized a building housing the army chief of staff headquarters. The junta pledged to yield to democratic rule within two years, but African leaders and the United States were quick to condemn the coup, declaring that the days of authoritarianism and military rule must end across the continent. ''We call for a peaceful return for order under the constitution and the established government of President Taya," State Department spokesman Tom Casey said in Washington, adding that the United States was talking to officials from the government. www.boston.com /news/world/africa/articles/2005/08/04/military_junta_overthrows_absent_president_in_mauritania   (627 words)

Pottery Barn rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to Woodward, United States secretary of state Colin Powell cited this rule when warning President George W. Bush, in the summer of 2002, of the consequences of military action in Iraq. The source of the term "Pottery Barn rule" is unknown, but it may not have originated with the reference in Woodward's book. The term is now almost exclusively used to mean the expectation of full accountability for the consequences of a public official's decisions and particularly, in the case of President Bush, for the consequences of his decision to invade Iraq. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pottery_Barn_rule   (627 words)
