Sen. Mike Lee said Congress has abdicated too much lawmaking power to the executive branch, and explained why he supports a bill to claw some of that power back.
SALT LAKE CITY — Congress continues to delegate too much power to federal agencies, according to Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who said lawmakers need to claw back their constitutionally granted powers to legislate during a public appearance in Salt Lake City on Tuesday.
But Lee argued that dating back to the New Deal in the 1930s, lawmakers have increasingly delegated their power to executive branch agencies and departments to set regulations, cutting voters out of the process., or the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act, which would require congressional approval before a new major rule or regulation could go into effect. Versions of the proposal have been floated around for years, but not enacted.
"I don't like to blame them," he continued. "I strongly dislike the policies they come up with, but they're not actually the problem. We are. Congress is the problem because we gave them this unbridled authority."
