[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1250884, member: 17767"] Caustic Burno in the post above stated: "[i]They have created agencies that were not authorized to do so. Congress only has the authority to create and maintain a military, postal system and levy tax[/i]." CB: would you support this statement with a reference to the part of the Constitution that specifically prohibits or excludes the creation of agencies other than the Department of Defense, Postal Service and IRS. I have heard this statement but have never been able to substantiate the claim. It seems odd to me that agencies that Congress has created through the legislative process that are not authorized by the Constitution would not have been challenged in the Supreme Court. Do you know if such challenges have been taken to the Supreme Court? If they have, it seems that they failed or the resulting case law would have mandated that those offices be eliminated. If CB does not want to reply for whatever reason, Does anyone know the response to my post? Just as a background. The Cabinet is established by Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. A large number of agencies have been created around those 15 executive departments. The Congress has created the other offices and agencies through legislation. I would think if those Acts that authorized the agencies are contrary to Constitutional Law that they would have been challenged in the Supreme Court over the 200 year history of this young Republic. Anyone can answer, does not have to be CB. This is a point I have wondered about for years and just don't care enough about to research. [/QUOTE]
