While the federal legislative process, \u2064as \u2062introduced\u2064 in the &#8220;Schoolhouse Rock!&#8221; videos, may depict a clear \u200cdivision of powers, in reality, much of today&#8217;s lawmaking occurs through agency rules rather than\u2063 Congressional legislation. This trend has grown over recent decades, particularly with the rise of regulatory \u200dagencies, which often issue rules that have widespread implications for\u200c citizens&#8217; \u2062lives without attracting significant public or\u200b electoral attention.<\/p>\n<p>A report by the Pacific Legal Foundation reveals that a\u2064 large percentage of rules\u201471% \u2062from\u200c the Department of Health and Human Services and 98% from the Food and Drug Administration\u2014are generated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-fearing-saudi-arabia-wont-penalize-mbs-after-he-promised-during-election-that-he-would-hold-saudi-leaders-accountable-reports\/\" title=\"Biden, \u2018Fearing\u2019 Saudi Arabia, \u2018Won\u2019t Penalize\u2019 MBS After He Promised During Election That He Would Hold Saudi Leaders Accountable: Reports\">lower-level officials<\/a> rather than Senate-confirmed\u2063 leaders. These bureaucratic \u2062rules can carry substantial economic impacts, exemplified by \u2064the FDA&#8217;s economically significant rules costing an estimated $17.7 \u200dbillion.<\/p>\n<p>The evolution\u2064 of this regulatory landscape can be traced back to the early days of the \u200cU.S. Postal System, where debates arose about the delegation of legislative power. While initially, Congress resisted\u2064 allowing the executive branch \u200dto dictate such details, over time, frameworks have changed, allowing Congress\u2062 to grant extensive regulatory authority to agency officials. This culminates in a current situation where Congress frequently the duties of crafting legally binding rules to agencies with vague directives rather than clear legislative guidance.<\/p>\n<p>there is a concern regarding the erosion\u2062 of the principle \u200bthat legislative power should reside\u2064 solely with \u2063Congress as laid out in the Constitution, leading to a blend of legislative, executive, and judicial functions within federal agencies that challenge the system envisioned by \u2062the Founding Fathers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Remember the &ldquo;Schoolhouse Rock!&rdquo;<em> <\/em>videos? There&rsquo;s one with a cartoon figure of a bill sitting on the steps of Capitol Hill explaining how our federal legislative process works: the committee debates, the votes in the House of Representatives and the Senate, the need for the president&rsquo;s signature or a veto override.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a wonderful introduction to our system of government. But for all the video gets right, there&rsquo;s an anomaly at its core. The video follows the progress of a long-languishing bill designed to require school buses to stop at railroad crossings. At last and with much pride, the bill finally succeeds in becoming a law. As it happens, though, we have no specific federal law like that. Instead, we have an agency rule, one issued by the Department of Transportation and buried deep within the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Section 392.10, to be exact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The truth about &ldquo;Schoolhouse Rock!&rdquo;<em> <\/em>illustrates another notable feature of our law today. Not only have the last few decades witnessed a shift in power from local to federal authorities, but even within Washington, a dramatic transfer of power has taken place from elected representatives to unelected agency officials. These days, federal agencies don&rsquo;t just enforce the laws Congress writes; they also engage in activities that look a lot like legislating and judging. In important ways, all three of the powers Madison and the founders took care to separate have become commingled in agency hands.<\/p>\n<p>Start with the agencies&rsquo; quasi-legislative powers. Today, executive officials regularly issue sweeping rules like those Marty Hahne and the museum encountered. Some, of course, are the result of directives straight from the top; President George W. Bush&rsquo;s administration implemented limits on federal funding for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/james-sherley-as-we-gather-for-the-first-post-dobbs-thanksgiving-lets-talk-more-about-protecting-unborn-children\/\" title=\"James Sherley: As We Gather for the First Post-Dobbs Thanksgiving, Let\u2019s Talk More About Protecting Unborn Children\">human embryonic stem cell research<\/a>, while President Barack Obama&rsquo;s administration issued the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy that reshaped immigration enforcement priorities. Both policies made front-page news. But the vast majority of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-governor-temporarily-steps-down-leaving-republican-official-to-fill-the-void\/\" title=\"Arizona Governor temporarily steps aside, allowing Republican official to take charge.\">executive branch decisions<\/a> are not like that. They may be deeply consequential for thousands or millions of people, but they do not attract the kind of public attention that might sway elections. Just ask Marty.<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, too, these rules are produced without effective presidential oversight. As Judge Neomi Rao, who once headed the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, has explained, &ldquo;a single bureaucrat can at times exercise an authority that exceeds that of a member of Congress. Meaningful burdens can be imposed by regulations that do not reach the threshold for [this Office&rsquo;s] review or even consideration by an agency head or other political official.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/pacificlegal.org\/press-release\/new-study-finds-98-of-fda-rules-over-17-years-are-unconstitutional\/#:~:text=The%20first%2Dof%2Dits%2D,Such%20rules%20are%20unconstitutional.\">report<\/a> by the Pacific Legal Foundation found that 71 percent of the nearly 3,000 rules issued by the Department of Health and Human Services between 2001 and 2017 were issued by lower-level officials rather than Senate-confirmed agency leaders; at the Food and Drug Administration the figure was 98 percent. Hundreds of those regulations were deemed &ldquo;significant&rdquo; by the Office of Management and Budget and according to Senate testimony by one of the report&rsquo;s authors, &ldquo;the FDA&rsquo;s own estimates found that the 23 most economically significant rules issued by non-Senate-confirmed employees have had a combined cost of $17.7 billion.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The sheer scale of agency output is staggering. Remember all those laws that Congress passed in the 1960s and 1970s? Many of them authorized the creation of powerful new federal agencies with vast new powers; federal regulatory output has exploded ever since. Take one recent year by way of illustration. In 2015, Congress adopted about one hundred laws. The same year, federal agencies issued 3,378 final rules and published another 2,334 proposed rules.<\/p>\n<p>Today, forest rangers operate with thick books of rules. Makers of ketchup, peanut butter, vodka &mdash; you name it &mdash; contend with rules that regulate down to the smallest detail. Ketchup must have a pH of 4.2 +\/&minus; 0.2 at certain stages of its formulation, and peanut butter may not have a fat content that exceeds 55 percent. Even the way the fat content is measured is closely regulated &mdash; it must be measured according to the rules &ldquo;prescribed in <em>Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists<\/em>, 13th Ed. (1980).&rdquo; But good news for vodka aficionados; officials recently amended rules that once required vodka to be &ldquo;without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>You might ask how we got so recently and so quickly to a point where unelected bureaucrats can make so many legally binding rules covering so many aspects of our lives. Well, the story&rsquo;s complicated. Small pieces of it fill long books, and we cannot begin to capture it all. But even a quick glimpse back tells quite a tale.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after the Constitution&rsquo;s ratification, Congress took up a debate about the new nation&rsquo;s postal system. Around 75 post offices and 2,400 miles of postal roads already existed &mdash; and in a nod to the new nation&rsquo;s view of the importance of the affair, Benjamin Franklin had been named the country&rsquo;s first postmaster general. One of the questions Congress faced concerned where to site a number of new postal routes. Should the route from Taunton to Newport go through Warren and Bristol or some other towns? How about the route from Baltimore to Hagerstown? One congressman, Massachusetts&rsquo;s Theodore Sedgwick, found the whole affair silly. Why not, he proposed, simply appropriate funds for roads &ldquo;by such route as the President of the United States shall, from time to time, Cause to be established?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>You might think that an eminently sensible solution. But some congressmen, including Madison, no less, protested that the proposal would improperly delegate legislative power to the executive branch. One insisted that the Constitution required the government to be &ldquo;administered by Representatives, of the people&rsquo;s choice; so that every man, who has the right of voting, shall be in some measure concerned in making every law for the United States.&rdquo; Another observed sarcastically that, if the proposal succeeded, he would advance another that would &ldquo;save a deal of time and money,&rdquo; for &ldquo;if this House can . . . leave the business of the post office to the President, it may leave to him any other business of legislation; and I may move to adjourn and leave all the objects of legislation to his sole consideration and direction.&rdquo; In the end, the Postal Act of 1792 gave the postmaster discretion on many fronts, but it also contained a long and dreary recitation of postal routes.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the postal route debate seems a world away. Few think the Constitution requires Congress to decide details like that. Surely, too, our agencies have much to offer when it comes to advising Congress about making new laws and administering old ones. But the episode does offer some sense of how far we have traveled from the debates of Madison&rsquo;s day to our own. In Article I of our Constitution, the people vested &ldquo;All&rdquo; federal &ldquo;legislative Powers . . . in a Congress.&rdquo; A few decades after the postal route debate, Chief Justice John Marshall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/DocketPDF\/23\/23-819\/298865\/20240126124738743_Allstates%20Cert%20Petition%20Appendix.pdf\">wrote<\/a> for the Supreme Court that this assignment means &ldquo;important subjects&rdquo; must be &ldquo;entirely regulated by the legislature itself,&rdquo; while Congress may leave &ldquo;details&rdquo; (like postal routes) for other officials &ldquo;to fill up.&rdquo; For years, the Supreme Court described the principle that Congress &ldquo;cannot delegate legislative power&rdquo; to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senator-asks-two-biden-cabinet-members-whether-high-ranking-officials-are-using-encrypted-apps-to-cloak-communications\/\" title=\"GOP Senator Asks Two Biden Cabinet Members Whether \u2018High Ranking\u2019 Officials Are Using Encrypted Apps To \u2018Cloak\u2019 Communications\">executive branch officials<\/a> as &ldquo;vital to the integrity and maintenance of the system of government ordained by the Constitution.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But it has been decades since our courts have done much to enforce that rule. And perhaps thanks in part to that omission, the pendulum has swung toward far-reaching delegations of legislative authority to agency officials. These days, Congress sometimes leaves agencies to write legally binding rules with little more guidance than &ldquo;go forth and do good.&rdquo; Laws tell agencies to regulate as &ldquo;the public interest, convenience, or necessity&rdquo; requires; others task them with setting &ldquo;fair and equitable&rdquo; prices; still others authorize agencies to determine &ldquo;just and reasonable rate[s].&rdquo; One law that made its way to the Supreme Court recently even leaves the nation&rsquo;s chief prosecutor more or less free to decide for himself what kind of criminally enforceable registration requirements should apply to about half a million people. Thanks to broad delegations like these, agencies can write, change, and change again rules affecting millions of Americans &mdash; all without any input from Congress.<\/p>\n<p>While he was an early advocate for administrative power, Justice William O. Douglas explained that later in life he came to &ldquo;realize[] that Congress defaulted when it left it up to an agency to do what the &lsquo;public interest&rsquo; indicated should be done. &lsquo;Public interest&rsquo; is too vague a standard to be left to free-wheeling administrators. They should be more closely confined to specific ends or goals.&rdquo; But that wish, too, seems now a world away. If laws governing major facets of our society were once largely the work of elected representatives and the product of democratic compromises, nowadays they often represent only the current thinking of relatively insulated agency officials in a distant city. It&rsquo;s a result that, as Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., once observed, can pose a quandary: &ldquo;Whereas the colonists challenged the king, today&rsquo;s citizens may find it impossible to know exactly who is responsible.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>Excerpted from&nbsp;Over Ruled&nbsp;by Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze.

One features a cartoon bill on the steps of Capitol Hill, illustrating how our federal legislative process operates: committee discussions, voting in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the requirement for presidential approval or a veto override. It&#8217;s an excellent primer on our government system. However, there&#8217;s a significant discrepancy at its heart. The video tracks a bill that has been stalled for some time, aimed at mandating school buses to stop at railroad crossings. Ultimately, it proudly becomes law; yet in reality, no such specific federal law exists. Instead, there is an agency regulation issued by the Department of Transportation found deep within Title 49, Section 392.10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative surrounding &#8220;Schoolhouse Rock!&#8221; highlights another important aspect of contemporary law. Over recent decades, power has shifted from local to federal authorities and even more dramatically from elected officials to unelected agency personnel within Washington D.C. Nowadays, federal agencies not only enforce laws created by Congress but also engage in activities resembling legislation and adjudication. In many respects, all three branches of power that Madison and the founding fathers carefully separated have become intertwined within these agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Consider their quasi-legislative authority: executive officials frequently issue extensive regulations similar to those encountered by Marty Hahne and his museum project. Some are direct results from high-level directives; for instance, President George W. Bush&#8217;s administration imposed restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research while President Barack Obama\u2019s administration introduced Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which altered immigration enforcement priorities\u2014both making headlines nationwide. However, most executive decisions do not garner such public attention despite their significant impact on countless individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, these regulations are increasingly produced with minimal presidential oversight. As Judge Neomi Rao noted during her tenure leading the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs: \u201ca single bureaucrat can sometimes wield authority surpassing that of a member of Congress.\u201d Substantial burdens can be imposed through regulations that may not meet thresholds requiring review or consideration by higher political figures.<\/p>\n<p>A report from Pacific Legal Foundation revealed that between 2001 and 2017 nearly 71% of almost 3,000 rules issued by Health and Human Services were enacted by lower-level officials rather than Senate-confirmed leaders; this figure was as high as 98% at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many regulations were classified as \u201csignificant\u201d according to estimates provided during Senate testimony\u2014indicating substantial economic impacts amounting to $17.7 billion due solely to rules established by non-Senate-confirmed employees.<\/p>\n<p>The volume generated by these agencies is astonishing when considering historical context; numerous laws passed in previous decades authorized new powerful federal entities with expansive powers leading to an explosion in regulatory output since then\u2014for example\u2014in just one year like 2015 when Congress enacted around one hundred laws while agencies released over six thousand final or proposed rules combined.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s forest rangers navigate extensive rulebooks while producers across various industries face stringent guidelines regulating minute details\u2014from ketchup pH levels needing precise measurements down to peanut butter fat content specifications\u2014all meticulously defined under official analytical methods standards set forth years ago! Fortunately for vodka enthusiasts though\u2014recent amendments relaxed prior stipulations mandating vodka be devoid entirely characteristically distinct traits!<\/p>\n<p>You might wonder how we arrived so swiftly at this juncture where unelected bureaucrats possess authority over numerous legally binding regulations affecting everyday life aspects? The answer is complex\u2014a narrative filled with intricate details spanning long histories\u2014but even brief reflections reveal much about our journey thus far!<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after ratifying Constitution provisions regarding postal systems emerged among congressional debates concerning existing post offices alongside thousands miles postal roads already established\u2014with Benjamin Franklin appointed first postmaster general reflecting national commitment towards efficient communication networks! One congressman suggested simply allocating funds based upon routes determined periodically via presidential discretion instead debating specifics like routing options between towns\u2014a notion met with resistance emphasizing constitutional mandates necessitating representative involvement throughout legislative processes ensuring citizen engagement!<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately resulting Postal Act passed granted postmaster certain discretionary powers yet still included exhaustive listings detailing routes! Fast forward today\u2014the debate seems distant indeed few believe constitutionally mandated congressional decision-making extends into minutiae anymore! Agencies undoubtedly contribute valuable insights aiding lawmakers crafting new statutes administering existing ones\u2014but this episode illustrates stark contrasts between past deliberations led primarily elected representatives versus current realities dominated largely insulated agency officials operating far removed urban centers impacting millions lives without direct accountability mechanisms available citizens seeking recourse against arbitrary actions taken them!<\/p>\n<p>In Article I Constitution explicitly vests \u201cAll\u201d legislative Powers within Congress itself\u2014decades later Chief Justice John Marshall articulated necessity ensuring critical subjects remain fully regulated legislature whilst allowing delegation minor details other officials fill gaps accordingly! For years courts upheld principle prohibiting delegation legislative powers executive branch deemed essential safeguarding integrity governmental framework envisioned Founders\u2019 design!<\/p>\n<p>However\u2014it has been many years since courts actively enforced such principles resulting pendulum swinging favorably toward broad delegations granting immense authority agency personnel often leaving them empowered create legally binding policies based vague directives encouraging beneficial outcomes without clear parameters guiding actions taken them! Laws instructing agencies regulate public interest convenience necessity others tasking setting fair equitable prices authorize determining reasonable rates reflect growing trend reliance upon administrative discretion rather than democratic processes once foundational governance structures relied upon effectively representing populace interests directly involved shaping policy decisions
