The Department of Veterans Affairs creates a grant program for returning members of the service without prior authorization from the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of government. Is this legal? Why or why not?

A.
Yes, because the department is already part of the legislative branch of government.

B.
Yes, because the federal bureaucracy can use its authority to implement political changes.

C.
No, because the federal bureaucracy relies on support from the three branches for its authority.

D.
No, because only the executive branch can authorize the creation of new policy under existing laws.

I think it's illegal but I'm not even sure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

The "GI Bill" has been in place for a very long time. You should go to Google and search for history of g i bill -- then read, read, read until you find out how it was created. Knowing HOW this veterans' benefit was created in the first place will help you decide on your answer.
