IMHO all US regulations that have the force of law should have to be passed by both houses of congress to be legal.

- pdonis 12y agoHe's talking about regulations made by executive branch agencies, not statutes. Take a look at the Federal Register: https://www.federalregister.gov/ https://www.federalregister.gov/ Everything in there is regulations that were never passed explicitly by Congress or signed by the President. Congress passes laws giving broad regulatory guidelines, and executive agencies then write the detailed regulations that actually matter. The FCC is one such agency. One could argue (and I would not disagree) that this is not really what the people who wrote the US Constitution intended. But it's how the system currently works.
