It’s as simple as you need people to actually enforce laws and carry out programs laid out by Congress.
I don’t think you understand how laws work. The laws I work to to support were promulgated in the 1970s after rivers were lighting on fire.
They are complicated to enforce because the companies that cause environmental harm can afford high powered attorneys and lobbyists to prevent them from being enforced.
There is no one working on behalf of the american people to try to meet the intent of many of these laws we rely on - such as those to keep our environment, air we breathe, water we drink, relatively safe. Other than those in the government that have the authority to do so.
I don’t know how all of the other various agencies work specifically, but that’s generally what people are doing in the government
You don’t seem to understand this so you don’t value it. I think once it gets more fucked up, you will. This isn’t a liberal or conservative thing. The laws I work with were put on the books by Nixon. This is a rich stealing from you issue. Not left/right.
I don’t think you know how laws work, and I think you missed my point. And you even re-stated it. The laws exist, they just dont get enforced for myriad reasons. High-priced lawyers, complicated enforcement, burden of proof etc.
And at the end of the day, all laws are made up. Often, as you mentioned, the laws are in place with an intent that doesn’t get met. There isn’t anything from stopping a president from just upending the law and it’s up to the people in charge of upholding the laws the correct whatever shit gets thrown at the wall which we agree is often very laborious and often has bad actors working against it.
There’s very little difference (in the way that the actions function in the real world) between a written law and declaring another set of rules through sheer willpower and bullying except that hopefully over a relatively long time the rules get corrected back to the written law.

But maybe you are just troll, probably.
