Many appear not to have processed the fact that, in areas in which the elimination of Chevron Deference has neutered executive branch agencies, Congress has, by default been empowered. Or, if you will, involuntarily re-empowered!

In response, This Guy envisions, as now necessary:

1) a doubling of the number of members of the federal House of Representatives,

2) immediate ceasing of the use of huge omnibus spending bills,

3) a corresponding, long-overdue, return to regular order through normal Congressional committee work, in terms of developing, and passing into law, an annual budget for the federal government, and

4) directly related to the elimination by SCOTUS of the Chevron Deference doctrine, TONS more House of Representatives committee work to fill the vacuum or void that was previously filled by the work of federal agency regulators/unelected bureaucrats.

Members of the expanded House or Representatives need to be buried, like John Adams was during his time with the Continental Congress (from 1774 through 1777), in grueling, head-down, nose-to-the-grindstone, detail-oriented, committee work.

Give them the pay raise they want, then work them nearly to death.

The House term of office should be increased to four years effective the next Congress by constitutional amendment.

We have the CR issue because the House members spend too much time and effort running for reelection.

That reminds me of my favorite line from the Broadway musical 1776:

And what follows is a complete and up-to-date list of all the committees of this Congress, now sitting, about to sit or just having sat.

A committee formed to investigate a complaint made against "the quality of yeast manufactured by Mr. Henry Pendleton's mill" designated as the Yeast Committee.

A committee formed to consider the most effective method of dealing with spies designated as the Spies Committee.

A committee formed to think, perhaps to do, but in any case, to gather, to meet, to confer, to talk, and perhaps even to resolve that each rifle regiment be allowed at least one drum and one fife attached to each company, designated as the Drum and Fife Committee.

5) Elimination of the federal agency regulators' jobs, if not outright elimination of the agencies.
