'Gov't knows best': Biden admin breaks Obama record for filling Federal Register with most regulations

'Gov't knows best': Biden admin breaks Obama record for filling Federal Register with most regulations

President Biden's administration has filled up the Federal Register with more pages of regulations than any other president in history, breaking President Barack Obama's record. 

The record was previously held by Obama, who, in the final year of his second term, filled 95,894 pages.

The Federal Register, which is published by the National Archives and Records Administration and overseen by the Office of the Federal Register, is a daily publication of new and amended federal regulations.

Shortly after entering the Oval Office in 2017, Trump issued Executive Order 13771, which initiated a new federal rulemaking process requiring that for every single regulation added by the Trump administration, two must be taken away. The result of this was net cost savings throughout Trump's first term, Crews said.

Trump has signaled that he will expand his deregulation efforts during his second term, pledging to erase 10 regulations for every new one added.

Machalagh Carr, director of the Center for Legal Action at the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, told Fox News Digital that with the incoming Trump administration "a new day is dawning and help is on the way."

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Biden and Trump, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
