It used to be that congress had to vote on every new regulation that a 3 letter agency wanted. But at some time the congressmen got lazy, corrupted, paid for, whatever. They passed a bill allowing most 3 letter agencies to create their own regulations. No I don't remember the bill or even the time frame but it happened. Now the EPA, BLM, CDC, etc all get to do their own thing. It's referred to as "REGULATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION"
The most egregious one was Obammy's "waters of the united states " rule. Trump had it done away with. It regulated ALL water. Even what you caught off your own roof into a rain barrel, or the mudholes in your driveway. It kept many Americans from building on their own property because there could be a chance for standing water. It was a regulation designed by the EPA so that it gave them authority over anyone they wanted to attack/destroy politically/ destroy financially, etc...Under Biden it will be back no doubt.
