Intellectual Property Law

Can the president abolish a law that a former president signed while he is office?

For instance, say President Bush signed a law today. Could President Obama/McCain kill that law that when they get into office if they disagreed on it?

1. Yes, of course. But it takes a lot more than just a president to make a law. That is what the Senate and Congress are for. But as for your question, whether McCain/Obama could kill laws passed during the Bush presidency. Yes they can, provided they have the support of the other branches of government.
2. The president is in the executive branch. The legislative branch is Congress, which is where laws are passed. So the answer is no.
3. The president can suggest a modification of a current law to congress, but he himself can not willingly do it, unless a crisis was to occur, under order pdd 51, the president is capable of assuming temporary dictator roles.
4. No a president can not enact or retract a law. That is why we have 3 separate branches of the government. A president can rescind an executive order issued by a previous president.
5. Nope. Congress does all that crap which is the real reason our country is in the mess it is. Thanks alot folks for screwing things up for all of us!
6. Only if they could get Congress to pass bill revoking the law. Presidents cannot make, change or abolish any laws by themselves.
