Re: Philosophical question: The answer is in the constitution there buddy..
Its not even so much about the power to regulate, its about the power to act like and assess fines and penalties based on rulings of their own. We also have a body of government for that, and they're called the courts.
Congress has the ability to call in for testimony and they can make decisions as a body to move forward on change. They still, mostly, need the president to make change in most cases. They CAN delegate responsibility and authority to another part of government by the change of law by using the 'system' to make that happen. BUT, they can not give 'court-like' authority to another part of government ever, which is kinda what the FCC also believes it has.. |
