From what I remember, maybe the little bit of US government I was taught, but not the original design, is that Congress makes the laws, and the president executes those laws via the federal agencies. My intention isn't going into the constitutionality of that setup, or of the agencies themselves, but how would something like border enforcement be done? That's actually in the constitutional purview of the federal government - provide for the common defense.
Would that be done with a border patrol funded by (laugh here) and under the direction of the government? Or would that be given to the states with a framework to go by? Would a militia need to be raised for it? There's also the issue of ambassadors. I know they answer to the president, but what kind of organization would they be in? Would it be a much smaller, reconstituted state department?
I'm just wondering how the president is going to execute the laws that Congress makes.
Congress has basically exempted themselves from their law-making function and turned the responsibility over to regulatory agencies, which are now an uncontrollable machine that makes life difficult in what is supposed to be the most free nation in the world. The unelected bureaucrats hold more power than any elected official, and Congress abdicated their responsibility many years ago.
Perhaps it was because Congress-critters felt too busy to concern itself with the lives of us "little people." Maybe they just didn't want the bad PR that unpopular regulations would bring, so they distanced themselves from the agencies and could say, "Well, it's out of our hands...the bureaucrats are to blame."
Getting back to a truly Constitutional Representative Republic will be difficult, but a favorable SCOTUS decision on WV. vs. EPA might just begin to unravel this Congressional mess.
Bottom line: You can always trust Congress.... to f#*k things up beyond repair.
It was hussein that said "you can always trust Joe to fuck things up." Except we don't have the real Biden anymore.
