摘要:The unitary executive is no longer a theory; it is real. The President operates on the premise that, because all executive power is vested in him, his appointees merely assist him in performing his constitutional duty.

This Article demonstrates that among the contributing causes to that climb are the judicial rules about rulemaking. The provisions governing agency rulemaking in the Administrative Proc...

摘要:An inherent tension exists between the roles of agencies and courts in administrative enforcement cases. Those cases are initiated by agencies to enforce the statutes and regulations they administer but are then subject to judicial review by courts. Agencies tend to focus on creating and then implementing administrative enforcement systems that produce consistent results pursuant to the agency's bureaucratic processes and informed by the agency's expertise. In reviewing such decisions, by cont...
