Do you think a Republican Congress would allow that? Do you think industry won’t tie the change up in the courts for decades?
Yes, the executive can attempt these things but with two coequal branches, one of which swings between the parties pretty regularly every couple years, it wouldn’t stick.
Trick question! It's not up to the legislative branch to decide the limits of Executive authority. That's up to the supreme Court. Speaking of which, president Gore would have gotten TWO SEATS appointed.
