Discussion 4
The country’s policy is not usually dependent on the official verdict made by the president but on the full assistance of other members of the state. Therefore, the president has come to rely on the large staff based in the white house to assist in carrying out this operation. From this, the constitution does not explicitly show or define the practical arrangement of the bureaucracy. However, some agencies comprise the Executive Office of the President (EOP), the include; Office of Administration and Budget, the National Security Board, the Body of Economic Advisors, and the White House Office (Kriner). White House is made up of the chief advisors, those people who are close to the president with exemplified trust and loyalty, together with those who played an essential role during the election. The chief staff position is the most crucial in this docket as he or she is responsible for ensuring that the goals are achieved through collaboration with Congress. The National Security Council (NSC) is concerned with the foreign, domestic and military policies that affect the security issues. NYC is made up of members that collaborate with the institution. Also, it is representative of the intellect and defence of public members.
Additionally, the Council of Advisers (CEA), on the other hand, deals enormously with a complex task that involves preparing the centralised budget to be submitted to the Senate. Similarly, the Office of Management and Budget (OBM) is engaged in evaluating the state agencies on how they are efficiently using appropriation. Also, it deals with the conscription of the legislature of the Presidency program. Consequently, the executive branches can be checked by Congress by monitoring and conducting a review of the bureaucracy from the powers implied on them by the Constitution. For instance, voting to change or regulate an agency by Congress, as it was done in the 1980s over the EPA. Thus, this is intended to protect the public from shoddy management or waste by the agencies by ensuring they run efficiently.
