“That approach gives judges a chance to block the ban without wading into the politically explosive question of Trump’s motivation and whether the president aimed to discriminate on the basis of religion,” it said. “Katyal, the 47-year-old Chicago-born son of Indian immigrants, has drawn particular attention for arguing that Trump’s order runs afoul of immigration laws on the books that determine whom the president can exclude from the country and how visas are issued,” the report said. Neal Katyal, partner at Hogan Lovells is ranked 40 for being US President Donald Trump’s travel ban’s legal nemesis. Aparna Mathur, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, is ranked 32 for making the conservative case for family leave. Under Verma’s oversight, Medicaid could look quite different, whether or not Obamacare remains the law of the land, it said. She has promised more flexibility for states to experiment with new Medicaid approaches that would let them skirt federal requirements, and signalled a willingness to green-light policy ideas she helped shepherd in Indiana,” the report said. “Now Verma leads a 6,500-person federal bureaucracy that oversees not just Obamacare but Medicare for seniors and Medicaid for the poor. Haley, 45, is followed by Verma at 26th spot as Administrator, center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.She has been described as Medicaid rollback engineer. She is focused on human rights, sounding off on everything from Venezuela to South Sudan, but dismisses suggestions that Trump who seems indifferent to the topic doesn’t care,” the magazine said in its report. “Haley’s commitment to both her boss in the White House and a traditional foreign policy can sometimes induce cognitive dissonance. Led by US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, the list also comprises Seema Verma who heads a top health care position in the Trump administration, lawyer Neal Katyal, economist Aparna Mathur and lawyer Neomi Rao.ĭescribing Haley as “Trump’s foreign policy good cop”, the magazine said yesterday that the former South Carolina governor had quickly emerged as the security blanket that Republicans and even some Democrats can cling to when trying to grasp where the Trump administration stands on global affairs.

Small businesses have “been treated very, very badly,” he told the small-business leaders, vowing to “create an environment for small business like we haven’t had in many, many decades.” “And we’ll be reducing them big league and their damaging effects on our small businesses, our economy, our entrepreneurial spirit,” he pledged. In a statement from the Roosevelt Room previewing his executive order, Trump had teased that he would be taking action later Monday morning “to begin our effort to dramatically reduce federal regulations.” “President Trump’s executive order helps bring the nation’s regulatory regime into the 21st century by putting regulators on a budget, and addressing the costs agencies can impose each year.” “The explosion of federal regulations has hamstrung small business growth and crippled our economy,” he said. House Speaker Paul Ryan applauded the order in a statement Monday afternoon, noting that it builds on House Republicans’ “Better Way” agenda and comes as the lower chamber is set to repeal a number of Obama era regulations this week. And it says the net incremental cost for fiscal 2017 should “be no greater than zero,” meaning the cost of new regulations should be offset by existing rules that will be rescinded. The executive order calls for agencies to pinpoint “at least two” current regulations to be repealed for each new proposed regulation. But for small business, and that’s what this is about today.” The president added that “it goes far beyond that.” “We’re cutting regulations massively for small business - and for large business,” he said.
