Letter: Two simple steps for pulling back the federal Administrative State

Re “DOGE offers a golden opportunity to streamline the bloated federal government” (Nov. 17):

I see that President-elect Trump has chosen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The first thing they can do to reign in the unelected bureaucrats of the Administrative State is to have Congress pass a law that says every regulation, rule, or guidance issued by any federal agency has to be voted on and passed by Congress before it can take effect.

Second, they could require a sunset on every regulation which originated from a federal agency. This would force Congress to vote to re-approve each regulation after a certain period of time (e.g. every 10 years) or it automatically becomes void.

These two simple things could vastly reduce the over-regulation we now have to deal with in our country.
