That's a nice view, and I certainly agree that congress should in many cases be more precise in it's language.
That said, if an agency to so XYZ is founded, it needs the authority to do its job.
If Congress cannot even muster the effort to precisely describe the job, it certainly cannot micromanage each job.
Requiring such, depending on how strict, would effectively gut the agencies ability to do anything.
- sabarn01 3y agoThe issue is one administration will say yes agency y should do x and the next administration will say no it shouldn't. Only congress though its own actions can determine the remit of an agency. The issue isn't the congress has to be specific its that up until now agencies didn't even have to follow the plain meaning of the law. We should not give so much deference in a democratic system to the unelected.
