What limits are imposed on administrative agencies by each of the following: (a) the courts; (b) Congress; and (c) the executive branch?


The courts exercise a check on administrative agencies by means of judicial review. Courts may either compel agency action or set aside impermissible agency actions. Congress exercises control of administrative agencies through its budgetary power; by amending the agency's enabling statute or even by eliminating the agency; by establishing general guidelines such as with the enactment of the APA, by confirming high-level appointments to administrative agencies; and by reversing or changing agency rules. Under the Congressional Review Act, agencies must submit newly adopted rules to each house of Congress before they can take effect. The executive branch appoints high-level executives; has a central role in the budgeting process of an agency; and can impound moneys and reorganize various agencies.
