“Cruz, Manchin propose bill blocking Biden admin from banning gas stoves”
Can Biden really do that or is this another Executive Order kinda like JFK issuing one to allow government employees to unionize that eventually becomes an unofficial law?
We have become a nation where about 12 different federal agencies write regulations that although having the force of the law behind them, do not go through a true legislative process. They post these things on the federal register for public input which they are not required to do anything about and then after a specified time it becomes de facto, the law.

So, for example, some government agency can just come up with the idea that a toilet may only use 1 gallon per flush, another that over the counter pseudoephedrine needs to be reported to them, yet another that hydroxychloroquine gets taken away from travelers coming into the US... There is no vote in congress. There is no review by the courts, except for that agencies internal lawyers that often are the ones writing these regulations in the first place.
Congress has big flashy hearings for the press, they talk about impeaching each other and their pronouns, while a run away government bureaucracy is basically making all the real decisions.
