The House approved a bill to rescind the executive order President Obama signed last week that ended the pay freeze on federal employees, which meant that some federal workers would be getting a raise—including members of Congress. A number of lawmakers spoke out about the absurdity of the pay increase and timing of the move. Rep. Michele Bachmann said in a statement, “This executive order was not requested by Congress and we should reject it. We have a spending problem in our country and we should be looking for areas to cut spending. At a time when families across the country are cutting back we should not increase government spending and add to the debt burden by giving members of Congress a pay raise.”

Why doesn’t Rand mention the Court’s clarification that constitutionally undefined executive orders have no teeth without Congress’s legislative support?
Executive Order
In fact, why are the public schools evidently not teaching that the Founding States made the Constitution’s Sections 1-3 of Article I to clarify that all legislative powers of the federal government are vested in the elected members of Congress, Congress therefore having a monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not. (But what are legislative powers the people ask in unison?)
