Which constitutional power gives the president this ability?
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> Which constitutional power gives the president this ability? Congress has delegated broad authority to the President with respect to energy, environment and financial services.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoCongress has delegated the authority for the president to ban a random technology? Citation needed. Honestly, would Congress itself even have that power?

They will probably defer to the EPA, who will make a regulation based on their suggestion. This allows them to bypass congressional oversight at least until someone very rich manages to bring the case in front of the supreme court. Extremely common unfortunately.
- MeltingAaah 4y agoYou are aware that a government can make laws and change laws right? And also change the constitution right? Of course it could imply that it needa to go through certain channels but no one should assume that it literally meant 'the president will now say x and now x is the law'.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoSure, if the required supermajority wants to change the constitution, go for it. We’re only talking about executive action because congress isn’t interested though.
