The real answer to the democracy-killing ‘administrative state’

http://nypost.com/2017/06/16/the-rea...trative-state/

Most of the rules we live by aren’t laws passed by Congress or court decisions. Instead, they’re to be found in the thousands of pages in the Code of Federal Regulations or in the interpretative advice found in agency opinion letters and policy statements. The agencies generally exercise their power in secret, and they’re barely accountable to anyone.

writer suggests some remedies for it; a return to the spoils system.

I'm not sure that's a a good idea. it was a corrupt system. Just because Andrew Jackson did it doesn't mean we have to return to it.

ok, maybe a very small portion of it; perhaps the Justice Dept, State Dept, Homeland security dept. and Intelligence.

my solution:
Increase the size of the House from 435 to 1311. (its long over due and has not kept pace with the population)

you need this many for oversight on the alphabet agencies which number 600+. committee board make up runs some where between 9 - 12 members. members maybe serving 3 - 5 different committees.

House has 21 committees and 95 sub-committees.

agency regulations has to go thru the committees for approval. committees may change the regulations as needed to fulfill the requirements of the law it was enacted for.
