Just for clarity, it seems that when you say regulations, you're really talking about laws.

- salawat 6y agoSpecifically of the Administrative form (read: delegated to the executive in their definition by Congress) These are the types of regulations that can change on a moments notice, and that the American citizen has no knob to turn to influence once the paper to establish the Agency in question is inked. Executive lawmaking was never supposed to be a thing.
- nradov 6y agoWhile I share your concern with the legislative branch handing over its lawmaking authority to the executive branch, the rules really don't change on a moment's notice. There is a defined rule making process which all federal agencies must follow, which includes a significant public comment period. The real problem is that regular people don't have time to monitor notices of proposed rule making or submit comments in the right way. So the process ends up being dominated by lobbyists, special interest groups, and unaccountable bureaucrats who are pushing their own agendas.
