Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads

Enumerated powers · passes

The President directs the Secretary of Energy to rescind a prior agency rule using authority under Article II, Section 1 and Article II, Section 3 to supervise execution of the laws, in connection with congressional energy conservation statutes. It claims no new legislative power under Article I, Section 8, imposes no new regulation, and by its terms is to be implemented consistent with applicable law. As a deregulatory supervision order, it stays within executive authority.

Bill of Rights · passes

This order restricts no speech, religion, press, assembly, arms, privacy, or trial rights. It removes a prior regulatory definition rather than imposing a new mandate or search. No provision of the first eight Amendments is implicated, and no unenumerated right under the Ninth Amendment or reserved power under the Tenth Amendment is infringed. Fourth Amendment and First Amendment remain fully intact.

Individual liberty · passes

The order expands individual choice over personal property and household use by removing a 13,000-word federal definition of showerhead. It imposes no new restriction on person, property, speech, labor, or belief. The burden test is satisfied because the government is reducing prior restraint rather than adding one, with no compelling justification needed to restore freedom.

Decentralization · passes

This action moves decision-making downward. It rescinds a federal regulatory definition codified at 10 C.F.R. 430.2 and returns choice over showerhead design and purchase to individuals, local markets, and states. It does not consolidate power upward and is consistent with the Tenth Amendment reservation of non-delegated powers to the states and the people.

Due process and takings · passes

No person is deprived of life, liberty, or property under the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clauses, and no property is taken for public use without just compensation under the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause. No criminal process under the Sixth Amendment is involved. The order creates no new penalty, seizure, or forfeiture, and Section 3 expressly creates no new enforceable right against the United States.
