You know, is there a history and tradition?
That's where the language comes from.
From Rahimi.
Is there a history and tradition of this?
Okay.
There's so many weird things about this.
One of which is nobody looked to see if there was a history and tradition for the FTC in the slaughter case.
So they decide that without mentioning this.
And then the Cook case, they're like, well, you know, let's look to see.
And then voila, here it brings us back to Alexander Hamilton.
Voila, there is a history and tradition because Alexander Hamilton said independent monetary policy.
That's very important.
I mean, I have a lot of thoughts, but... And we must do what Hamilton says.
One real tension in what's known as formalist separation of powers theory is the fact that, and they can't really get around this, the Constitution is blending functions across departments, as they would have called it back then, not branches, all over the place.
So you're mentioning the fact that the appointments power
by the plain text of the Constitution, is shared with the Senate.
It's a joint appointment.
The vice president of the United States, an executive officer, serves as the president of the Senate.
The president can veto legislation all over the place.
Powers are blended.
