Natural Resources Defense Council, introduced a two-pronged test for determining the legitimacy of agency actions. The first part of the test requires clear authorization from Congress, while the second part allows agencies to interpret and implement statutes when they are silent or ambiguous. Critics argue that this has given unelected bureaucrats too much influence.<\/p>\n<h3>A Divided Vote<\/h3>\n<p>The bill received unanimous support from Republican House members, with the exception of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). On the other hand, all Democratic members, except Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), voted against the bill. Notably, Reps. Mark Green (R-TN) and Jahana Hayes (D-CT) did not cast their votes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Government works best when it can be held accountable,&#8221; said Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), the lead sponsor of the legislation. &#8220;Unfortunately, unelected bureaucrats in our agencies wield far more power than intended because of mandated deference, like Chevron, during judicial review. This legislation restores Congress&#8217;s authority as the branch that makes the laws and the judiciary as the branch to interpret and enforce them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The White House has expressed opposition to the bill, stating that it would undermine the separation of powers, a fundamental element of our government. However, with Democratic control in the Senate, the bill&#8217;s chances of passing in that chamber seem slim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This bill would undermine separation of powers, a fundamental element of our government, by attempting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-pass-bill-challenging-supreme-court-ruling\/\" title=\"House Republicans pass bill challenging SCOTUS ruling.\">jettison long-standing principles<\/a> concerning judicial review of agency interpretation and implementation of laws and regulations,&#8221; stated the White House Office of Management and Budget in a policy statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House of Representatives approved the Separation of Powers Restoration Act of 2023, aiming to counter a Supreme Court decision criticized for granting excessive power to executive agencies.
