In principle, this gives more flexibility, but I do worry about offsourcing criminal liability to executive agency definitions that can change on a whim. For good secretaries, this works well, but not so much for bad ones, and I can’t build a system assuming that a political appointee will always be acting in good faith forever more. For this reason, I regrettably must vote nay.
