Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bureaucrats have the authority to make rules and regulations that have the force of law, especially when Congress has given agencies the power to create regulations to implement a law. This is known as "rulemaking." Compared to the other options, this is the most accurate statement. Option A is blatantly false as bureaucrats are expected to use their discretion in implementing policies. Option B is partially true, but bureaucrats may also rely on judicial interpretations of vague laws. Option D is false as allowing bureaucrats to make law is not an impeachable offense for a president.
