An FAA “rule” is called FAR (Federal Aviation Regulation). It is Federal Law
All FARs and SFARs (Special Federal Aviation Regulations) are Federal Law under Title 14 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).
It is a “law” written by unelected bureaucrats and never voted on by Congress. The regulatory, bureaucratic Federal government we have today is not constitutional and is illegal.
There needs to be a Federal law that all regulations proposed by any federal agency must be submitted to Congress for a full vote just like any other law. Regulations that don’t go through this process should have no more weight than any dumbass bill submitted by any blockheaded congressmen that never gets a vote on the floor.
The politicians in Congress Love the regulatory state because they can do their dirty deeds and steal wealth and rights from Americans but not have their grubby, backstabbing fingerprints on it.
