“This is why I hate federal bureaucracies, they have regulating power and under the control of the POTUS. The Constitution does not grant the POTUS law making authority.”

Congress delegates regulatory authority to the Executive branch. For decades many Congresses have abdicated their lawmaking role by granting broad discretion to bureaucrats. However, what Congress gives, Congress can take away.

There is no regulation issued by a POTUS or government bureaucrat that Congress cannot repeal. In January the GOP Congress and President have the opportunity to put up or shut up.

Within 30 days of taking office, Trump should send a list of regulations to Congress for repeal. Congress should spend a week reviewing the list and pass legislation in both houses to void the regulations. Trump should immediately sign the bill. Going forward Congress should write tight bills limiting bureaucratic discretion.

The good news all of this can be accomplished in less than 60 days. If nothing is done, we know who to blame.

I could be wrong, but at this point I do not expect Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to get things done.
