Back in the 1800 there was a large human rights debate left to Congress.. and youll never guess what congress did they introduced laws to delay legislation instead. Some thing took place, the president gave a speech and people got hunan rights ( for some it just took longer). And the those rules stayed in place that delay legislation. Congress not being able to solve a human rights crisis should have been the sign this branch of government is purely for show. Should the legistature have power, well lets start with getting an actual democracy that isnt corrupted by gerrymandering and bullying out any other ideas.
I agree. To clarify I consider myself mostly an apolitical independent, who mostly just cares about the constitution. I personally felt chevron was a bastardization of the constitution in terms of what is supposed to be the legislative branches job, being given to the executive. Don’t get me wrong, I see the appeal of cabinets and government agencies, atleast in theory, being experts in the field making decisions sounds good. However I think that flies in the face of the separation of powers, and I believe that the only way that chevron can be legitimate, would be via a constitutional amendment. I hope our congressman and women on both sides put in the effort to do their jobs the way they were supposed to.
You are still under the impression that all politicians want a functional government. Sure, Congress should do it's job. But half of Congress believes it shouldn't exist but for national security and foreign policy.
