3、 process where legislation can be held up;FPolicy will therefore be a compromise among key decision makers.Policy will change incrementally,if at all,and will satisfy many competing interests.Policy Making Via DelegationuBut a lot of policy is made not by Congress directly.uRather,Congress delegates
