Things like the Bureau of Consumer Protection are an Article VIII agency explicitly authorized by the US Constitution.US Constitutin Article VIII.

And our democracy rides on the back of the Constitution.

On edit:

As a high-schooler, I wondered about what I was taught in the benighted state of MD versus such things' being authorized by Congress and SCOTUS gave its benediction.

I suspended belief. Or disbelief. Same diff.

At some point, that suspension stopped.

There is no executive, authorized by our democracy, that doesn't execute, legislative, or adjudicate. No Article VIII. Does BCP execute, legislate, or adjucate? Per McCeloud, there can be only one.
