GPO Facing Formidable Challenges
GPO cites Title 44 of the U.S. Code, Chapter 5, Sec. 501, which states: "All printing, binding, and blank-book work for Congress, the Executive Office, the Judiciary...and every executive department...shall be done at the Government Printing Office."
OMB counters that this violates constitutional principles of separation of powers and was ruled unconstitutional by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel. Bolstered by this, OMB issued a memo in May in which it called GPO "a monopoly" and directed executive branch agencies to stop using GPO to handle printing and procurement.
