So long as we persist with the ridiculous idea of "independent" executive departments, we will have out-of-control bureaucracies and agencies with toothless congressional oversight and impunity versus the president. The president either has control of executive departments or does not. The presidency is the most direct path to voter accountability for executive departments (by design), because we all know Congress slow-walks and sandbags accountability until it ceases to be a campaign concern.
