Imagine that the President of the United States has tried for several years to get Congress to pass legislation which would place very tough restrictions on handguns. Finally, in frustration, the President, without consulting Congress, appoints a twelve-member Committee on Gun Control to make national rules regulating handguns. Can the Committee on Gun Control issue regulations which will be upheld in court? Why or why not?
