delegation of powers

Read a random definition: lend

A quick definition of delegation of powers:

Delegation of powers means giving someone else the authority to do something on your behalf. In government, this can happen when one branch of government gives some of its power to another branch or to an agency that works for the government. This is called the delegation doctrine. It's like when a teacher asks a student to help grade papers or when a parent asks a babysitter to take care of their child. The person who delegates their power is still in charge, but they are letting someone else help them get things done.

A more thorough explanation:

Delegation of powers is when one branch of government or an administrative agency is given the authority to make decisions or take actions by another branch of government. This transfer of authority is known as the delegation doctrine.

For example, the United States Congress may delegate powers to the executive branch to enforce laws or to administrative agencies to regulate certain industries. This allows for more efficient and specialized decision-making.

Another example is when a manager delegates tasks to their employees. The manager is transferring their authority to make decisions about those tasks to their employees.

Overall, delegation of powers is a way to distribute decision-making authority and responsibilities to different parts of an organization or government.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure
