Ei varmaankaan presidentin tulisi puuttua vessojen huuhtelukapasiteettiin jne. Tämä on kuitenkin on ollut "ongelma" jo vuosikymmeniä, vessojen tankit pienennettiin 1.6 gallonan kokoisiksi. Kanadasta sai ostaa 3.5 gallonan tankkeja ja tuoda ne USAhan. EPA vaati tullia puuttumaan asiaan, mutta tullilla oli kuulemman tärkeämpää tekemistä.
Dave Barry otti kantaa asiaan (lakimuutos taisi tapahtua jo 1992):
"What happened was, in 1992, Congress passed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, which declared that, to save water, all U.S. consumer toilets would henceforth use 1.6 gallons of water per flush. That is WAY less water than was used by the older 3.5-gallon models -- the toilets that made this nation great; the toilets that our Founding Fathers fought and died for -- which are now prohibited for new installations. The public was not consulted about the toilet change, of course; the public has to go to work, so it never gets consulted about anything going on in Washington."
