What is a bureaucrat? n A civilian that works for the federal government is called a bureaucrat or a civil servant.

An Overview n n Any Major Organization is a Bureaucracy is a neutral word Easy to bash…Conservatives say it too large, liberal, and unaccountable Liberals say it too slow, too status quo, doesn’t protect us enough (ex. EPA)

Additional Layers of Bureaucracy President’s Cabinet

Additional Layers Broken Out

The Executive Office of the President People and Agencies that directly assist the President with advice and information n Office of Management & Budget (OMB): prepares the national budget each year that is presented to Congress n National Security Council: Keeps the President advised to National Security issues (VP, Sec. of Defense, Sec of State, Chief of CIA, Joint Chiefs of Staff) n National Homeland Security Council: Coordinate the agencies that are working to fight terrorism n Council of Economic Advisors: Assesses the economic health of the nation and predicts future developments. Creates a plan to support a stronger economy. n Other White House Offices n n White House Staff: whatever the President assigns to them Press Secretary: the President’s representative with the press

Role of the Cabinet § n n Cabinet members are heads of the executive departments. Influence the president’s decisions on matters related to their departments’ areas of interest.

The Cabinet Departments n The 15 executive departments are a major part of the federal bureaucracy and are headed by secretaries and staffed with assistant secretaries, n deputy secretaries, and n directors of major units. n

Selection of the Cabinet n The president must consider whether: n n n n potential cabinet members’ backgrounds suit their cabinet posts they bring geographical balance to the cabinet they satisfy interest groups they have high-level administrative skills, they include ethnic and racial minorities and women. The Senate must approve cabinet appointees, and it usually does so out of courtesy to the president. There are 15 major executive departments in the Cabinet https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=xx. Svi 6 JCCfk

Regulatory Commissions n n Independent regulatory agencies or commissions create and enforce regulations to protect the public at large. Independent regulatory agencies are situated in the executive branch of the government but are not directly under the control of the President. are often under intense pressures from the groups they regulate and their lobbyists; The federal government has increased regulation under the Obama administration.
