Corina believes the lizard ban by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not a law because it is an administrative agency rule. Is she correct?

A) Yes, because the FAA is only an administrative agency.
B) No, because federal laws include rules passed by federal administrative agencies.
C) No, because of the supremacy clause.
D) Yes, because there are no checks and balances on federal administrative agencies.
E) Yes, because the FAA rules do not have the same status as laws.

Supremacy Clause

Article VI, Paragraph 2, of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the Constitution and all laws and treaties of the United States constitute the supreme law of the land. Thus, any state or local law that directly conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or federal laws or treaties is void.

Federal Laws

Laws enacted by the national government that apply throughout the country.
