Proposing new rules isn't making new rules though? I would be surprised if anyone isn't allowed to propose new rules.

- thfuran 3y agoProposing a rule in this context is a step in the process of enacting it, not offering up a suggestion to Congress.
- dataflow 3y agoOkay but my question is still the same - is that step itself possibly illegal? I would think only the final step is what could be illegal.
- Racing0461 3y agoThe term "proposed" is used here where an executive branch agency gives notice to the federal registrar, waits the time needed for public comment, pretents to "ack" the public comments and passes said rule to then enforce. ie a law that pretty much bypasses congress. the supreme court seems interested in looking at how much power can congress give to the executive branch. see: https://www.federalregister.gov/uploads/2011/01/the_rulemaking_process.pdf https://www.federalregister.gov/uploads/2011/01/the_rulemaki...
