Speech #820245017

The President himself has certain regulatory powers. the extent of which. under the Constitution. is in my opinion much narrower than the license which the President has exercised in that regard. but an executive department which would make regulations under this act. assuming this body overrides the Presidential veto. would be making regulations not by virtue of any power of the President. but entirely by virtue of a grant of authority. a delegation of authority. if you please. from the Congress of the United States. What the President is really saying on this point is that after the Congress has delegated regulatory authority to an agency in the executive branch. the Congress has no right to approve or disapprove the regulations which that executive department writes. that the Congress has no authority to seek to supervise regulations which are written by authority of Congress. The President is not satisfied with the work of the committees of Congress in revising and codifying. over a 3year period. the immigration laws. The President wants the immigration laws reassessed and revised. -He says so in his message. But how does he want it done? Does he want the Congress to do it?
