    Imagine if the Constitution vested all legislative powers in a Congress of the United States, consisting of a Senate and House of Representatives.

        Congress can delegate the writing of federal legislation to any body of experts it wants. It just isn't a law until Congress votes to make it one.

        hahaha. Imagine Republican Senators actually standing up for those legislative powers in the face of a Republican president.

        Or Democrats and a Dem president... it works that way too. I'll say this problem has built up over time with both parties doing it. Would you disagree?

        It's so much easier to pass one law to create an agency that shall make rules that are given the force of law. Leaves more time for press appearances.

        It's hard to feel the esprit de corp as 1 of 435 or 1 of 100 needed for the institutional jealousy the Founders relied upon to keep powers separate

        And then imagine, the members of this Congress didn't realize they actually had this power.

        Or that they collectively voted to delegate those powers to the executive for reasons of political expediency...
