Introduction

The traditional system of the United States federal government consists of the Congress, the Executive, and the Courts. Congress passes the laws, the Executive enforces the laws, and the Courts interpret the laws. But this is a dramatic over-simplication of the way in which the government carries out its functions and duties. Congress and the President will often delegate their authority to agencies that are tasked with performing specific government functions and objectives. Because the number of government agencies is so voluminous and vast, a large body of agency law has emerged.
Agencies have authority to act pursuant to ...

On the other hand, its disadvantage is that the results can be considered guesses – such as the time hypothetical users need to complete a given task or the possible usability issues they might encounter during their interaction with the product. This then requires that ...
