Discuss the differences between executive agencies and independent agencies
What will be an ideal response?
The heads of executive agencies are directly answerable to the president and may be fired at the president's will. The heads are therefore often very political. The heads can be influenced to act in a particular way for job survival where the President's direct control can influence policy. This can be positive or negative depending on whether one supports or opposes presidential policy. Independent agencies have presidential oversight but the President cannot fire a head without just cause. Politics is less of an issue in terms of imposing regulations and enforcing policy. Heads are more influenced by public opinion than political agendas. Heads have more freedom and autonomy to make decisions. This can be positive or negative depending on whether one supports or opposes increased or comprehensive regulation.
