It is a fundamental error to think about the federal government as if it were like a private company with an org chart. That's not how it's structured.

-------------------

I don't think that way but you are not going to convince me that congress exercises the kind of mundane, day to decision making, that is necessary to keep the agency rolling along. Imagine two highly respected engineers debating the merits of alternate designs for their project, the mountain route and the desert route both have their plusses and minuses, and the project is starting to experience delays for lack of a final decision. So they head down to congress for a decision.

I know that is not what you mean but I certainly realize Congress cannot be allowed to constrain the President so as to reduce him more-or-less to an order taker.
