AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.13
How does the exercise of rule-making power differ from the exercise of discretionary power within federal agencies?
Rule-making involves setting standards applicable generally whereas discretion concerns case-by-case decision making.
Agencies lack both powers; they are solely vested in the Supreme Court.
Only Congress exercises rule making power while federal agencies use only discretion.
Federal agencies use both powers interchangeably without any difference.
