Congress does have the authority to delegate that power.

Thanks for replying. Will you please substantiate your assertion above with a reference to specific constitutional clause?

Here's the clause that I reference to substantiate my statement.

Article. I, Section 1:

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

I hope that you're not basing your assertion above on something that activist justices dreamed up.

To: Amendment10
Article I also, Section 8: aka the Commerce Clause.

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.

Congress has the plenary authority to regulate, therefore delegate.

So no, it was not "dreamed up." The legislative, judicial, non-profit, and for-profit activism regarding the Commerce Clause came later.
