Do you stay up late at night making this stuff up? NASA is an agency
established by the Executive branch to "execute" under the
authorization and appropriations of enabling legislation enacted by
the Legislative branch. There's nothing "extra Constitutional" about
it.

Yes Ed, Congress delegates much of its authority to the Executive. That way
Administrative Law can enable the spending of money which otherwise would
have to be allocated by Congress directly.

Administrative "Law" is simply the power of "regulation" rather than
"legislation" and is well within the existing Constitutional authority
of the Executive Branch. The "enabling" to spending money is more than
adequately covered by the passage of appropriation bills. That's the
whole of idea of an "Executive" branch--it executes the policy
legislated by the Congress.

Congressional "authority", in other words the power of the Legislative
branch as described in the Constitution cannot be "delegated" to the
Executive.

LOL

Ed, go fly an airplane and forget about trying to understand how the system
works.

John, since you brandish your MS/PE in your sig, it indicates an
educational accomplishment. Similarly, but not brandished, my
educational accomplishments include MPS (Master of Political
Science--Auburn U. 1978) and MSIR (Master of International
Relations--Troy State U. 1981). I teach Political Science in Colorado
Springs and you are welcome any time you pass through to visit the
college and audit my classes.
