What's a regulation? Just a law or mandate by another name.
No. Only Congress can pass laws. They cannot give that power to an agency to self direct. It’s illegal.
That was exactly my point. Lazy congress.
Not true.
A law is a rule that has gone through the legislative process to become a law that one can be fined or imprisoned for violating said law.
A regulation is a rule that is proposed and enacted completely outside Congressional authority. These regulations should never be allowed to have fines and jail time since they were never passed as actual laws.
Right, they are illegal laws. You can call it whatever you want, but essentially, it's a law because you can be held accountable if you break it.
Just because it has the effect of law still doesn't mean it is one.
Words matter.
