Unorthodox lawmaking refers to the process of creating laws or policies through unconventional means that deviate from the established legislative procedures and norms. This can include tactics such as using executive orders, engaging in filibusters, employing reconciliation processes, or attaching amendments to unrelated bills.
In general, unorthodox lawmaking is seen as a departure from traditional methods of creating laws, which typically involve a more deliberative and transparent process that allows for input from various stakeholders and provides ample opportunity for debate and compromise.
While unorthodox lawmaking can sometimes be effective in achieving policy goals, it can also be controversial and can lead to perceptions of illegitimacy or undemocratic practices.
