<Apparently, you don't understand how the federal gov't works. Its true that Congress has some oversight of the federal bureaucracy but the majority of the oversight is to be performed by the president's cabinet.< LOL!! Gee.. I must have missed that day in Government Class in High School.... Let's see what the White House Web Site has to say about this... http://www.whitehouse.gov/our-government/executive-branch "The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. *The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress* and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise. *The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws.* These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission." Hmmm.. Who should I believe.. The WhiteHose.Gov website.. Or Internet Message Board Poster.. Mr. Tejek¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ According to Mr. Tejek.. This statement should read... "The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. *The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Federal Bureaucracy* and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise. *The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day creation and administration of federal laws.* These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Congress is largely a figurative agency that has some oversight on some issues that the President and his Cabinet allow them to provide oversight on." The Federal Government you are envisioning, would be considered a Dictatorship. PCSTEL
