There is a semantic difference between a law i.e. something passed by Congress and signed by the president versus a regulation promulgated by a regulatory body. That regulatory body dervies it's power to regulate from law. But in a purely technical sense it is not a law.
- ubernostrum 10y agoThere are multiple categories of things which have the force of law. Referring them generally as "laws" is acceptable when technical hair-splitting about their precise origin is unnecessary.
