While not law in a technical sense, Congress, upon creation the bureaucracies of the Executive Branch, bestowed upon them the authority that any regulations they pass shall have the power of law. Essentially Congress ceded their power to the Executive agencies they created so Congress could spend their time on more worthy pursuits, such as pointing fingers at one another in front of fawning/deriding press and enriching themselves and their campaign donors.
