Answer 1

Answer:

b. Yes, if the delegation does not violate the separation of powers.

Explanation:

Yes the Congress can delegate power by any one of the three branches namely legislative, executive and judiciary to another agency or branch.

In the Constitutional law of the U.S., the delegation of power can be done from any branch i.e the executive, the judiciary or the legislative to any other branch or any other independent agency. For example the Congress have created independent agency to which it has delegated power or authority to enforce regulations or to promulgate pursuant to the law. This can be done only if it does not violates the separation of the powers.
