This is just another reason why I feel many regulations need to be repealed, and why I believe these multitudes of administrative agencies should not be writing so many regulations.

Hundreds of rules passed by Obama administration are technically illegal - Washington Post

Over the past two years, the Obama administration has published hundreds and hundreds of rules — on how wheelchairs should be stowed aboard U.S. aircraft, how foreign trade zones should be regulated, how voting assistance should be provided for U.S. citizens overseas, and so on.

There’s a problem, however: Technically speaking, these and some 1,800 other regulations shouldn’t be in effect because they weren’t reported to Congress as required. Yet there is little that lawmakers or the courts can do about it.

The situation illustrates the obscure, Byzantine process used to create federal regulations — and how easily it can go awry.

You feel they need to be repealed? Why are your feelings involved here? Shouldn't someone think about these types of things? Do you have some data here contrasting the current administration's approach vs that of its predecessors?

Regulations are often times asked for BY industry. You neglected to mention that.
