Anticipates the creation of two departments Military and Foreign Affairs ADMINISTRATION - the officials in the executive branch of government and their policies and principles. Framers realization that without people the laws of Congress would be just words and phrases

Created three departments in 1789 Department of State Department of Treasury Department of War Departments were added over the years based on the constantly growing workload of the government New departments replaced old or encompassed those departments
15 The Executive Departments Chief Officers and Staff Secretary - head of a department Attorney General - head of the Department of Justice Department heads serve in the President s cabinet Link between Presidential policy and their department Departments are divided into Subunits Made up of Staff and Line Agencies Have focuses on separate issues within the department Vary in terms of visibility, size, and importance

18
19 Section 4: Independent Agencies Objectives: 1) Explain why Congress has created independent agencies. 2) Identify the characteristics of independent regulatory commissions. 3) Describe the structure of government corporations.
20 Independent Agencies Prior to 1880 most of the work completed in the executive branch was done so through the cabinet positions. Independent Agencies - additional agencies created by Congress but located outside of the departments. NASA / SSA Why? Numerous reasons Do not fit in any department To protect from partisan and pressure politics
21 Independent Agencies Independent Executive Agencies Independent Executive Agencies - headed by a single administrator with regional subunits, but lacking Cabinet status. Some are large GSA, NASA, and EPA three of the largest Operate much like cabinet positions Single administrator Subunits Operate on a regional basis Most important difference - no cabinet status
22 Independent Agencies Other agencies Civil Rights Commission Peace Corps Federal Election Commission National Transportation Safety Board Much smaller agencies, still have important jobs. American Battle Monuments Commission Citizen s Stamp Advisory Committee Migratory Bird Conservation Commission Seldom seen or heard.
23 Independent Agencies Independent Regulatory Commission - designed to regulate important aspects of the nation s economy. Created by Congress Largely beyond the reach of the President Headed by a board or commission 5 to 7 members Appointed by President Must be bipartisan Appointed for terms (staggered)
24 Independent Agencies Quasi-Legislative - powers that are related to legislative. Make rules and regulations Securities and Exchange Commission Provide details for borrowing of money, stocks, bonds, and etc... Quasi-Judicial - powers that are to some extent judicial. Decide disputes for which they are granted power. Securities and Exchange Commission Investigates reports of fraud or scandal Cases can be taken to U.S. courts of appeals.
25 Independent Agencies Government Corporations - are within the executive branch and subject to the President s direction and control. Were used very little until WWI and depression 50+ organizations today What was the first? Bank of the United States (1791) Run by board of directors GM directing operations Income goes back into business Congress decides reasoning for public agencies What they can do.
26

28 The Civil Service Civil Service - composed of those civilian employees who perform the administrative work of government. How many? Of those 300,000 work in D.C. area President appoints approximately 2500 positions Again Article II of the Constitution Washington and Adams appointed with party Jefferson realized to appoint to office not only must they be qualified and experienced but have political acceptance.
29 Spoils System - the practice of giving offices and other favors of government to political supporters and friends Jackson dismisses 200+ presidential appointees and 2000 officeholders. Why? Replaced them with people he wanted. Patronage - the practice of giving jobs to supporters and friends. 4 Reasons (Jackson) 1) duties are simple - anyone with intelligence can do it. 2) there should be a rotation in office. 3) long service can lead to tyranny and inefficiency. 4) people are entitled to have the party they put in office in control
30 The Civil Service A need for change. Many sought change but could not accomplish it. No change took place until events in 1881 President Garfield Fatally shot by office-seeker President Arthur assumes office Gets the Pendleton Act passed. Establishes the Civil Service System Pendleton Act - established the means for office. quality of one s work hiring / promotion / personnel actions
31 The Civil Service First goal of civil service reform Elimination of spoils system New system recruiting and keeping best qualified in federal work force. Most are hired through a competitive process now Paid and promoted based on written evaluations Protected from disciplinary or dismissal actions party lines
32 The Civil Service Office of Personnel Management Federal government s central personnel agency Independent agency in executive branch Headed by single person appointed by President Responsibilities Federal recruiting Examining Hiring process Maintain registers Registers - lists of those applicants who pass its tests and are qualified for employment.
33 The Civil Service Merit Systems Protection Board Enforces the merit principle in federal bureaucracy Board is bipartisan Bipartisan - it includes members from both parties. 3-member panel picked by President and Senate Hears appeals from federal employees denial of pay increases demotions firings
