Love this post. Great info!
If I might clarify one thing:
They are not allowed to delegate it to the executive branch bureaucrats. Rule making is just law making by another name, and there should be no "rule making" by the executive branch minions whatsoever. Draft legislation and pass it, or don't. And then answer to your constituents.
The “branch” that makes these rules isn’t actually the executive branch. It’s a semi-official 4th branch that was likely created by either the Civil Service Commission (1871) or the Administrative Procedures Act (1946) (not a law expert and accounts vary. Feel free to dig into the acts) https://www.justia.com/administrative-law/
A big reason Trump wasn’t able to fire people who were clearly pulling shenanigans was that he isn’t legally authorized to do so because they’re in “Independent Agencies” rather than “Executive Agencies”. There are many laws around how those people may be dealt with.
Long story short, the “branch” drafting these “rules” is just a big protected, racketeered, unconstitutionally delegated bunch of leeches and petty tyrants who aught never have been allowed to have their powers delegated to them, and aren’t under the control of either Congress or the President.
Chevron will be huge.
