Seems fine that the bureaucrats to whom executive power is delegated should be answerable to the executive.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoYeah this is a key tenant of the MAGA 2016 and 2024 campaigns: draining the swamp, fighting the deep state, etc. How else is the executive supposed to align fed bureaucrats to his goals?
- NotYourLawyer 2y agoThe unitary executive theory is hardly a maga invention.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoHonestly didn't know it had a name, but didn't claim maga invented it. They did run on bringing the "deep state" into line with Trump. It makes sense to me, as a worker bee, i know I have to do what the boss says

- kelnos 2y agoThey already are, via cabinet members and their deputies/undersecretaries. Those people are appointed by the president, but need to be confirmed by the Senate as a check on the president's power. Trump is doing another end run around the confirmation process with his "liaisons".
- NotYourLawyer 2y agoWell, some of them are, indirectly. But there are also those allegedly independent agencies (which, although maybe not a bad idea, is probably unconstitutional—we don’t have a fourth branch).
