Yes, Morgan, but you are missing something. The Executive branch has no constitutional authority to legislate, but somehow we have invented the Federal Registrar listing the Executive's 600+ bureaucracies regulations, fees, fines, permits and other hidden taxes, passing more laws than congress every year, usurping more federal tax dollars than congress. These bureaucracies have their own armed police forces, and is now allowed to become judge, jury and executioner over civil cases. It's a nightmare. One is guilty until proven innocent.
The towering Federal Register

"This week marks the publication of the 20th anniversary edition of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual survey of the federal regulatory state, Ten Thousand Commandments. The report takes a big-picture look at the cost and scope of federal regulations. Among other eye-popping numbers, this year’s edition estimates the total federal regulatory burden at $1.8 trillion per year and growing — the first time ever that the cost of regulation has exceeded half the size of the federal budget.
The report contains a fuller picture of how the regulatory state has come to overshadow every area of America’s economy, but for now we’d like to concentrate on one facet of the regulatory state that has grown over the last two decades: the Federal Register.
The Federal Register is a daily digest published by the federal government since 1936. It contains proposed regulations from agencies, finalized rules, notices, corrections, and p**********l documents. The 1936 Federal Register was 2,620 pages long. It has grown steadily since then, with the 2012 edition weighing in at 78,961 pages (it has topped 60,000 pages every year for the last 20 years)...."
According to Todd Herman of Seattle's talk shows, President Trump's executive order mandated that if the bureaucracy were to write a new regulation, it must eliminate 2 previous regulations. As of today, Trump's cabinet have been able to make the ratio 1/18 regulations, eliminating over 800 regulations in the last 7 months. Hip hip hurray! Go Trump go.
