While members of federal agencies are not elected, their heads are appointed by elected officials.
I never understood the whole "un-elected officials" argument. How many people should we have on the ballot? 10s of thousands?
- remarkEon 2y agoThat isn't the point. My government is supposed to have it's rules made by one body, congress. It's very strange to me that there's a large contingent of people - even some who pretend to be lawyers - who think that it's fine that some random guy that gets hired through a political appointment by the executive is the one actually making the rules.
