Topic 2.13
What is a key difference between rule-making and discretionary authority in the context of administrative law?
Rule-making can only be exercised by the President, while discretionary authority cannot.
Discretionary authority involves creating laws, while rule-making does not.
Discretionary authority always requires Congressional approval, but rule-making does not.
Rule-making creates legally binding regulations, while discretionary authority allows for judgement in individual cases.
