AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.13
How does the impact of exercising discretionary authority differ from that of exercising rule-making authority in a federal agency?
Discretion has no real-world impact because it is merely interpretive not legally enforceable like rule-making.
The use of discretionary authority can have more immediate impacts on individuals or entities involved, while the impact of rule-making typically affects broader groups over time.
Rule-making always impacts negatively whereas discretion always has positive results.
Both authorities have exactly same impacts without any differences at all times.
