The '''Nondelegation doctrine''' is the principle that congress cannot delegate its [[[enumerated powers]] to the executive branch via bureaucratic agencies.<ref>[https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/nondelegation_doctrine Nondelegation Doctrine]</ref>
==History==
For much of American history, the legislative branch was strictly separate from the executive branch. In [[Marshall Field and Co. v.Clark]], the [[Supreme Court]] noted: "That Congress cannot delegate legislative power to the President is a principle universally recognized as vital to the integrity and maintenance of the system of government ordained by the Constitution."
This changed with [[J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States]].
