So what is the separation of powers? So as discussed in a prior video, the US Constitution establishes the framework for the United States government. That is Article one, establish the legislative branch, the US House of Representatives and the US Senate article to establish the office of the presidency, the executive branch of government in Article three, establish the judicial branch, the United States Supreme Court. OK, now the powers vested in these individual branches. So the legislative branch creates law. Bills turn into statutes. Right? And then they can delegate these the statutory authority to regulatory agencies to create or administrative agencies to create regulations in furtherance of those laws. All right. Now the executive branch is charged with carrying out or executing those laws that is enforcing them against the public. As part of that role, the executive branch can create administrative agencies or the administrative agencies at least report up through there, even though the authority comes from the legislative branch to create these agencies. But they report up to the executive branch and they generally have regulatory authority. So they'll take the statutes created by Congress pursuant to an enabling statute that grants and the authority to do so and create regulations to carry out or implement these statutes that Congress passes.
