Why does Congress choose to delegate rule-making power to executive bureaucracies?
What will be an ideal response?
The biggest reason is time; Congress does not have enough time to hold hearings on, debate, and pass the number of rules that can be created through the rule-making process. Moreover, Congress does not necessarily have the expertise to do so; many rules are quite technical and it would be impossible for every member to become an expert on each topic. Finally, Congress is able to retain control over the rule-making process to at least some extent; although it may not review every rule (time constraints again), it can at least sometimes nullify individual regulations if they become particularly unpopular or controversial.
