“Can’t seem to find that authority in the Constitution.”

Modern Congresses have delegated many powers to the executive branch. As a result we have fees levied by regulatory agencies that are really taxes as well as regulations that have the force of law.

The new Republican majority in the House and Senate should take back these delegated powers. However, I don’t see McConnell and Boehner leading this charge just as I don’t see them bringing fiscal integrity back to the budget process.

I seriously doubt that a body that would reelect McConnell and Boehner by acclamation would do the right thing on much of anything.

I am pretty sure that the constitution states that all revenue bills must originate in the House. That pretty much precludes delegation of that power to another branch of government.

Please remember, we are dealing with the Uniparty. Remember and don't forget.
