Didn't all the previous CAFE standards have to go through Congress? How does Obama just clap his hands together and say "So let it be written, so let it be done"?

You haven’t been paying attention.

The EPA ruled on carbon emissions and greenhouse gases as a mortal threat.

Hence the authority to do so by administrative diktat.

It is a pity that Article 1 Section 1 of our Constitution, the “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States . . .” is regarded by our tyrants as a humorous anachronism.

IIRC, many years ago the Black Robes at Scotus found delegation of legislative powers to be Constitutional.
