This is how it's supposed to work, Congress makes laws and the President enforces them.

The reverse, where government agencies ban things without Congress, is the unusual thing from a Constitutional perspective.

In effect, an action by the "FTC, FCC etc." is the same thing.

Those bodies were created by congress to delegate the duties of congress to the Executive branch.

They work for the Executive but are given authority by the Legislature.

The thing you may be conflating as the reverse is executive orders.

But isn't this a bill of attainder? It's a bill specifically against one company.
