Answer 1

2. Answer

Organization of executive branch impact on bureaucracy is determined. Executive branch is controlled by president and includes boards, committees, vice president, etc. executive branch enforces laws. Bureaucracy is part of governmental organizations that executive branch oversees and controls. Bureaucracy is found in cabinet departments, independent agencies, Government Corporation, president can control bureaucratic agencies in executive branch but bureaucrats set their own motivations and goals that this makes executive branch to face issue in controlling bureaucrats. Bearcats activities are largely unmonitored because a president cannot be able to watch every bureaucrat. Bureaucrat’s expertise and laws of civil service are other important factors that does not enable executive branch to control bureaucracy. Thus executive branch to a limited extent controls bureaucracy.

2. Answer

Supreme Court and congress constrain presidential power due to checks and balances of constitution provided to three branches. President is not entitled to introduce legislations as this power is with congress. Non delegation doctrine enforces that congress cannot delegate this power to any agency. Similarly a president cannot declare war without Congress support. Congress may override vetoes of president. Supreme Court limits presidential power to use emergency power over congress decisions. Supreme Court has vested power to interpret fairness of laws as a president cannot interpret them. These constitutional powers to supreme court and congress constrain presidential powers.
