i don't think you understand what the FAA is... the FAA is an executive office, but it was created by congress. Congress has passed many bills that established a need for a regulatory agency for flight and related activities (which was originally an duty given to the Department of Commerce) congress literally made legislation telling the secretary of commerce to regulate aviation It's not like the president was just like "let's make some rules for aviation!" Also, making regulations is not the same as legislation. Only congress can pass legislation. One thing they can do through legislation is give another agency the authority to regulate certain things. If congress had to manage everything, then nothing would ever get done. Look into bureaucracy. The reason the government can function is because congress gives other agencies the authority to complete tasks using discretion. so your first sentence is mostly correct (barring executive orders which aren't technically legislation but are very similar and have been upheld in the supreme court) your second sentence is 100% false. Rules made by executive agencies apply to everyone within the U.S. because congress gave them the authority to do so.
@michaelpcoffeeАй бұрын
@redpug5042 Exactly. The Executive has no legislative authority. Any law must be passed by both houses and signed by the president. This is defined by the Constitution. The legislature cannot override the Constitution. The Constitution does not give congress the authority to redefine the branches.

@@michaelpcoffee the president is explicitly given the task to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" (article II, section 3) offices in the executive branch (i.e. the FAA) are used to assist in the faithful execution of the laws passed by congress. One such law assigned the authority to manage aviation to the Secretary of Commerce. Later bills were passed and created the FAA as a federal office with the authority to govern aviation. The FAA was given power by congress through laws. Congress has the ability to "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." (Article I, section 8) Congress also has the power to "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States"(Article I, section 8) In this case, the FAA was created as a necessary department to provide for "general welfare" by protecting citizens from aviation dangers (there were frequent crashes and miscommunications and other widespread issues with aviation) through regulations of the industry. Congress has every bit of authority to create the FAA to regulate aviation, and the FAA certainly has the ability to make regulations (as afforded by congress) because it is part of the executive branch, which is in charge of fulfilling laws that are worded intentionally to be vague to give discretion to the offices.

This is mental, in the UK wing walkers take off with the wing walker firmly strapped on before take off. There is a company near me and they fly hundreds of people every year strapped into the hot seat. Climbing up there with no parachute and being tied to the plane with a cable is totally and utterly insane. I feel that wing walking should be banned as even if the walker is strapped on before take off. If the plane had even a small problem on take off or landing a tail dragger with a heavy radial engine would nose over and go upside down very easily crushing the wing walker. You were just lucky that time. Just imagine for one second what might happen if your luck ran out.
