Definition of QUASI-JUDICIAL
1: having a partly judicial character by possession of the right to hold hearings on and
conduct investigations into disputed claims and alleged infractions of rules and
regulations and to make decisions in the general manner of courts
2: essentially judicial in character but not within the judicial power or function especially
as constitutionally defined

CRS Report for Congress Order Code RL33777
“….Quasi governmental entities may be viewed as a form of privatization because
they are substitutes for fully governmental agencies. They are private vehicles for
achieving a governmentally declared good.77 Policymakers have been attracted to
quasi governmental entities for a number of reasons, including the popular perception
that the private sector is more efficient than government and budgetary constraints….”

Several recent Supreme Court separations of powers decisions have noted that there are three, and only three, distinct branches of government; ‘independent’ agencies, therefore, either are in one of the three branches or they are unconstitutional. See Symposium on Administrative Law, The Uneasy Constitutional Status of Administrative Agencies, 36 AM. U.L. REV. 276 (forthcoming 1987) (discussing, inter alia, INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919, 951-52, 953 n.16 (1983); Northern Pipeline Constr. Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982) (plurality opinion); Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 118-41 (1976) (per curiam)); see also Note, Incorporation of Executive Agencies into the Executive Branch, 94 YALE L.J. 1766 (1985). Of course, this is not a new concern. See, e.g., 1 K. DAVIS, supra note 2, § 2.7.

The Attorney General has stated:
Agencies have no inherent lawmaking powers. They are not creatures of the Constitution. . . .
. . . .
This means we should abandon the idea that there are such things as ‘quasi- legislative’ or ‘quasi-judicial’ functions that can be properly delegated to independent agencies or bodies. . . .
. . . [F]ederal agencies performing executive functions are themselves properly agents of the executive. They are not ‘quasi’ this, or ‘independent’ that.

Address by Attorney General Edwin Meese III, Federal Bar Association, Detroit, Mich. (Sept. 13, 1985). The Justice Department took a similar position in litigation over the constitutionality of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act. See Brief for United States at 44-51, Bowsher v. Synar, 106 S. Ct. 3181 (1986) (No. 85-1377).

Independent Agencies and Government Corporations
“Independent establishments are created by Congress to address concerns that go beyond the scope of ordinary legislation. These agencies are responsible for keeping the government and economy running smoothly.” (Re: USA.gov)

What is the definition of legislation?
dictionary.com defines “legislation” as:
1. the act of making or enacting laws.
2. a law or a body of laws enacted.

Note: Congress has no lawful authority to create Independent Agencies and
Government Corporations which go beyond the law. (ordinary legislation)

“Our Bill Rights curbs all three branches of government. It subjects all departments of government to a rule of law and sets boundaries beyond which no official may go.”

Here are a few interesting quotes of Abraham Lincoln pertaining to our Constitution .

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln

Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.
Abraham Lincoln
