I’m so happy to see the regulation UI laid out. Congress was the original legislative body, I.e. makes laws. This is great as it makes them accountable to what they do. A law I don’t like is passed? Well then I check to see how many senators and rep voted and take action accordingly. But then some big agency makes a regulation I don’t like? How do I find accountability in that?

While I recognize that Congress has granted said agencies the authority to do this in many cases, I can’t help but feel it’s a massive way for Congress to completely skirt accountability.

I do wonder how many are aware of how law making has shifted from Congress to agencies over time and what the political ramifications of that are.
