<Seems like that's the way it's being done.I see Congress appearing to oversee each cabinet all the time, and I see reports of secretaries overseeing their departments, too. In fact, when I worked at the VA, I used to fill out forms which were ultimately blended into information which reached some sub-level cabinet person, who was overseen by the head of the VA. Later, Congress would oversee him.<

Again.. I appreciate you agreeing with me here..

Congress makes the Laws and creates and funds the agencies for oversight responsibilities.

Executive Branch agencies typically performs everyday oversight responsibility, with the capability of Congressional to overrule the Executive Branch by "defunding the agency". All part of checks and balances.

Some Federal Agencies report directly to Congress.

i.e.
FCC
EPA
CIA, etc.
