Congress abdicated their role quite a while ago.

They don't even pass a budget anymore.. which they're explicitly required to do. They learned there are political consequences to their action so they handed their job to agencies in the Executive Branch to write their own rules which acted like laws.

When SCOTUS struck down Chevron Doctrine last year, it boiled down to "No, Congress writes the laws."

The fix is Congress doing their job.
