Who heads the executive branch?
- ecommerceguy 3y agoI don't mind feeding trolls so here it goes. The elected President is head of the executive branch. What's your point? The above comment is an excellent example of what type of comment should be grey texted into oblivion.
- ethbr1 3y agoIf the President is elected, and the President holds the power to staff the executive branch (subject to the approval of Congress and the restraints on arbitrary exercise of the CSA of 1883 and CSRA of 1978), then in what sense is the bureaucracy uncontrolled by the electorate? Or do I misunderstand the American system of government?
- ecommerceguy 3y agoYes, you are severely misunderstanding the federal government or at the least making a leap of judgement. https://apnews.com/article/federal-employee-job-protections-rule-trump-biden-4c1954c0ac089d0370a405ec4029fc9d https://apnews.com/article/federal-employee-job-protections-... You sure seem awfully defendant of FISA and government abuse. Why is that?
- ethbr1 3y agoThe CSA and CSRA were both implemented to put a stop to the spoils system for executive offices that existed previously. Do you think that was better? And if not, how would you propose re-politicizing civil service positions without falling victim to spoils again?
