Nonsense, did you catch that?

The Executive Branch is making cross border deals with foreign countries that alter US Administrative Law, the Congress has oversight over such cross border activities.

Whether or not the Executive Branch feels the need to submit such actions for review by the Congress is moot, the Congress can take the reins themselves and investigate or legislate as needs be.

That's interesting. Do you know more? I don't know whether you are correct or not, but it seems rather odd that an administrative agency, using its delegated power from Congress to add/remove/change regulations, cannot add/remove/change regulations without Congress' consent.

I mean, if Joe Blow at the FCC steps out of line, then he gets called up on the Hill for a verbal thrashing--that's where "oversight" comes in. (And Congress can legislate a change--in effect, withdrawing its "consent").
