Look, you can't both claim that the government is responsible for the behaviour of the executive agencies, while also claiming it's unaccountable for the behavior of the executive agencies. Congress delegated some parts of rulemaking authority to them. It can do that. It has done that. Congress can always undelegate it, if it thinks that the agencies are doing a poor job. Or it can pass laws that modify their mandates. Given that it doesn't do much of that, it seems to be pretty happy with the job they are doing. (You know who isn't happy? A bunch of unelected, unaccountable, partisan life-time appointees, who seem to be have a habit of legislating from the bench, ruling on hypothetical cases, or on straight-up fabricated facts...) If you don't like a legislature that doesn't do anything, consider electing a legislature that actually wants to legislate (the current Congress ain't it.)
