Statutes are enacted by a constitutionally defined legislative body, whereas an agency is, itself, created by statutes. The scope of legislative powers within an agency is determined by its chartering statute and the process for proposing rules may also be copiously defined. On the other hand, an administrative agency "order" may also refer to a quasi-judicial finding by an agency, based upon the statutes and its own regulations, after having a dispute or query brought to its attention. An administrative law judge may issue such an order.
Is it a federal offense to steal someone's passport?

By picking Senators and Congress members who will agree to change a federal on the peoples behalf. If the Senators and Congress members you have don't want to change something on your behalf then vote for someone else who will next time.
Voting, petitioning and writing letters to Congress are all plausible ideas. Lobbying will work as well. However, if you want to be directly influential, I suggest running for political office yourself. Definitely time consuming and expensive, though. Another option is organizing through today's social networks, staging acts of civil dis-obedience, rallying with peaceful demonstrations. If those options fail . . . RIOT!

Can you send a shotgun through the mail?
just is gay
You can send it to an FFL but usually not through the mail. If it is broken down and they ask you what's inside, you have to tell them & since you are not an FFL, they will not accept it. Some post offices are more sticklers on that than others but especially if it is going out of state, take it to an FFL & have them send it for you. Short answer is "No."
What is another name for mercy killing?
Mercy killing is the killing of an individual by another one. The victim is generally, terminally ill and wants to end his life. Mercy killing is done with the consent of the victim, but there are many cases recorded where it has been done without the consent of the victim.......Mercy killing is legal in many western countries...but it is still not legalized in India.
"Be around?" Yes. However, the felon cannot have access to the gun.
Added: NO! Definitely NOT! "Being around" a gun places the felon in what is known in the law as CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION of the firearm which is enough to put him in prison.
It depends on the definition of "being around." I discussed this specifically last year with the local DA in my area because someone I know was a felon, but he comes over to my house occassionally. The DA said that as long as the person doesn't have access to the firearm (IE: the firearm is locked up), he is not in violation. I also specifically asked him about a spouse of a felon living in the same house and he said that the same thing applies. If the gun is locked up and not accessible to the felon, there is no violation. And to futher my answer: some high courts have held to this, such as Commonwealth v. Heidler, which holds constructive possession only applies if it can be proven that the felon "had both the power to control and the intent to control the firearm."
When a person is cremated is the family allowed to do what they wish with the ashes?
of course, that's why you hear about people who are being creamated and thrown out to see bc of their love for it
you can eat them if ud like, although i wouldn't recommend that you do so.
think of it this way, you paid someone to creamate someone you love, therefore it is your right to do what you want with that product
Alternately:
The ashes can be:
- Kept in an urn by the next of kin (a ready source for humorous accidents)
- Scattered at a favourite place (not as pleasant as it is on TV or movies as corpse dust gets blown into your eyes and mouth)
- Tossed out with the trash
- Left with the crematorium - it's their problem
What is the max you can win before paying taxes?
50 cents -- because you are allowed to round to the nearest dollar.

A writ of habeas corpus may not be suspended except under what conditions?

The Patriot Act, however, passed in 2001 provides for mandatory detention of terrorist suspects.
Can you hang something from someones mailbox?
The USPS Domestic Mail Manual states that "no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items of matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle." In other words, the mailbox may not be used for anything other than for pieces of mail with postage attached. The USPS Domestic Mail Manual goes on to states that it is a federal offense and there is a significant penalty for violating this law.
How much can you earn without penalty while receiving Social Security Retirement?
The Annual Earnings Test for 2011 hasn't been released yet, but budget projections indicate there may be no change from 2010. For the 2010 tax year, the answer depends on your age.
If you've reached full retirement age (65 for people born prior to 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954, gradually increasing to age 67 for people born after 1954), there is no limit to how much you can earn.
In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn $37,680 annually, but for every $3.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from your benefits until the month your reach full retirement age.
If you don't reach full retirement age in 2010, you can earn $14,160 per year without incurring a penalty. For every $2.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from benefits.
Can Congress suspend a writs of habeas corpus?
Habeas Corpus is constitutional right allowing citizens to seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution says that Congress can suspend this during acts of rebellion or invasion.
Under much scrutiny, it may not be for long. It is not easy to make Salvia Divinorim illegal because there are no long lasting effects. The initial "trip" usually only lasts for about 5-15 minutes followed by an "after-glow" in which the individual is completely conscious and can go on doing everyday tasks (just in a more positive mood). It is not possible to over dose on the Diviner's Sage. At the point of sale, a pamphlet is given to the customer which explains how to create a safe environment before attempting a vision quest. There are no dangers legitimately linked to Salvia. The real question is, "why is Salvia Divinorum illegal in some states?"
I hope this helped.
