Administrative laws like those that are issued by the EPA have been held by the Supreme Court to be the intent of Congress and therefore valid (I disagree with this as being unconstitutional) but EOs have a history of being overturned by the court(s) because the Executive branch does not have the authority make laws under the Constitution.

I do not understand-this means that whomever at the time is in charge of the EPA, at will, can issue law that we must all obey because it is Consitutionally legal according to the Supreme Ct? Any new flavor of the day according to the EPA top dogs can become law? Is not debated on the house floor?

Where is our protection from suffocating regulation via unelected committees? Is the EPA totally staffed by the President's whim? What if the EPA proclaimed all cars made before 1995 must pay some kind of huge tax to make up for their, say, carbon emissions? *Hypothetical here

What would be the recourse?
