President Trump 's latest executive order calls for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to review monuments created by Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama . These monuments were set aside as public land under the 1906 Antiquities Act, which gives presidents the power to limit use of public land for historic, cultural, scientific or other reasons.
