Is this about the executive agencies? They're within the executive branch, dumb dumb. They're his underlings.

He doesn't have the authority to directly manage these departments (unless Congress gives it to him), he can only appoint the principle officer who reports to him.

The only organization the President has unilateral authority over is the military in his capacity as Commander in Chief.

We'll see what the courts say, but independent agencies and their loose control from the legislators has had r-slurred outcomes over the years. They're only way of moving up is making more regulations, regardless of their net impact to society. It's been a breeding ground of negative externalities, and it's essentially unconstrained.

Wow if only Daddy controlled Congress he'd be able to do something about this.

Wait, he does. So why aren't his lackeys there trying to do anything? Maybe because Republicans figure they've got the Presidency on lock going forward and are trying to concentrate as much power there as possible.

I love another leftoid conspiracy theory!

:#marseyheart:

!chuds, the Republicans are concentrating power (undefined) in the executive branch for the next president, which is why they're not instead overseeing independent agencies through legislative action.

I don't really get what you don't understand.

The Republicans can literally just pass legislation saying the EPA or whatever is now under White House management. They aren't even trying to do that because for one reason or another they prefer the President declaring he runs everything.

You don't think Republicans benefit from being on all those committees, getting all that inside information, and wheeling and dealing with various non-profits and bureaus to benefit themselves? They benefit from the status quo, so why change it? They're politicians, zoom zoom.

They can still make committees.

You seem confused. When Congress passes legislation, the President approves it, and the courts don't scrap it, it's the law. The President can't just say "lol no" thirty years later. Maybe you need a refresher on how the US government works:

Yeah, that's worked so well.

Really no need to write anything new. You're r-slurred.

More comments

Supreme Court already ruled on this in the 1930s

Executive branch doesn't have control of independent agencies created by the legislative branch

A newer 2020 ruling only added that the president can fire people for "just cause". That's it

The executive branch does have the authority too directly manage the departments within the executive, obviously

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

I don't know man I'm not seeing anything here that makes him CEO of anything. Says Congress can give him that authority over specific departments if they like.
