What if the next congress refuses to fund the process of developing the regulations required by the Health Care bill? Do we then impeach Obama for not creating those regulations?

The executive branch must have some leeway. The question is how much and who gets to decide?

Simply make it such that the regulations must be approved by congress before they can become defacto law. Clarity and accountability will result.

I agree that these Executive decisions have become defacto laws, and must be challenged.

It is unfortunate that the Executive has grown to such an extent, and our laws accumulated over the years, such that decisions on how to run the Executive branch, and how the law is going to be enforced - has become like one man making defacto law - which is exactly what our Constitution avoids.

I agree that Congress needs to keep an eye on this, but not sure of the best mechanism to do so. A Congressional oversight committee I find preferable to a law passed by Congress creating an extra-Constitutional demand upon the Executive that their internal regulation is all subject to Congressional up or down votes.

JMHO.
