Is the administrative state a legitimate part of the government?

Of course it is. Neither Congress nor the Judiciary possess the expertise to effectively regulate all that requires regulation.

I agree with John. Regulations need to be written and enforced by people with deep knowledge and experience in the fields they regulate. Agencies have a more wholistic and hopefully less political view of their domains.

Obviously it is but oversight isn't properly applied. The push to prevent bureaucrats fixing fines without Congressional action is needed and wise. Some effective appeal process is needed. OSHA, for instance, is rampant wit abuse. They inspected my business and complemented us on our set up identifying an exit sign that needed to be changed to lighted and an electric panel that was encroached by six inches. Both fixed in hours. They came back next morning with a $12,000 fine but if we signed it that day we could take 50% off. That is crooked!

I think there needs to be checks in place. Have the expert make the rule, but then they have to explain and get approved by some one who is elected. The same elected position should be able to take the rule off the books later if needed and have the expert re-write it before getting approved again. This would go a long way in stopping rules that have unforeseen negative results. The rule are put in place to stop harm, if a rule is causing more harm than it is stopping it is a bad rule and needs to be re-worked or removed.

IRS has been drafting regulations for many years to clarify how tax laws should,be understood and applied. Taxpayers, cPAs, tax attorneys and other interested can reply to IRS and Congress about the proposed regulations before they are adopted I assume,this procedure,is followed in other agencies like OSHA etc So,these procedures have been going on for many years how specifically would,anyone like to change,them?
