Yup. It’s Congress’ job.

That’s the central issue - why do federal bureaucrats have the power to issue rules that have the force of law?

Nowhere in our Constitution do we find such authority for them.

Madison and Jefferson would be appalled.

Well, now that you ask -

FDR wanted to assign regulatory authority to unelected staffers.

The supreme court said, “Oh, heck no.”

FDR said, ok, I will start appointing judges (expanding the court), until I have a majority that allows me to break the law, pretty much as I wish.

And the USSC immediately reversed itself, and said, hey, no problem.

The day the music died.
