The FMCSA is a "regulatory agency," meaning that it acts on the authority (and under the oversight) of Congress.

Civics lesson part 2

We are a representative republic. As such, we the right to vote for representatives who will write law. Bureaucrats do not represent the people. They are not accountable to the people’s vote. Congress has no business or authority to transfrer law-making power to anyone, especially unelected bureaucrats.

Unelected bureacrats writing law is one of the primary traits of a dictatorship. The soviets in the former USSR and the functionairies who operated in 1930s fascist Germany are two examples.

Unelected bureaucrats illegally writing law is a long, long way from the Republic the founders designed.
