>Even outside of that the FTC is fully empowered to implement the protections that are needed right now without congresses involvement or the president. You do realize that the FTC chairman serves at the pleasure of the President, right? As such, the new President (or more likely his Heritage Foundation lapdogs) will decide what the FTC can and cannot do. If it's within the executive branch, the head of that branch (who is that again?) has broad authority to do whatever they want, and Congress' (given that a "veto-proof" majority on any bill is so unlikely as to be impossible) and/or the populace's only recourse is through the Federal courts -- assuming you have the time and money to pay for lawyers and wait for your appeal to be denied by SCOTUS, then you're done. So good luck with that. You're gonna need it.
