Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by quayside legislative authority the sort of

00:08

law of the land art which sorts of government agencies

00:12

possess quays I legislative and quays I judicial authority mouthful

00:17

and hear potential answers Tonight congress All right well some

00:23

government agencies have a whole bunch of agency when it

00:27

comes to the strength of their legislative and judicial swing

00:30

quiz i legislative authority means that they've got the juice

00:33

to establish rules that have the force of law think

00:36

bureaucrats with badges cuesta judicial authority it means that they

00:41

have the ability to judge complaints and violations within their

00:44

jurisdiction and agency serving as both judge and jury All

00:49

right do a all agencies created by congress possess ways

00:53

i legislative and quays i judicial authority Well actually congress

00:58

creates almost all federal agencies even cabinet departments that end

01:01

up as a part of the executive branch So if

01:04

everyone possessed these special powers and they wouldn't really be

01:07

special would they are quayside legislative inquest judicial authorities given

01:11

to be all agencies within executive office of the president

01:15

Well the executive office of the president clues a whole

01:17

bunch of people tasked with advising the commander in chief

01:20

on a whole bunch of issues Think of them like

01:22

reality show host But instead of cooking modeling and singing

01:25

they advise the presidential contestant on domestic policy national security

01:29

and the health of the economy Sounds like can't miss

01:31

programming tow us do see all executive departments possess these

01:35

special powers Well executive departments are agencies with secretaries who

01:39

sit in the president's cabinet quick name all just getting

01:43

even We have trouble remembering all fifteen We're looking atyou

01:46

housing and urban development Where you again Also the executive

01:49

department simply act is the administrative arms of the president

01:52

so they aren't going rogue with their own law making

01:55

and judicial powers What about d All independent agencies will

01:58

some independent age sit inside the executive branch but don't

02:02

fall under one of the main executive departments For example

02:05

the cia doesn't fit into any of the fifteen cabinets

02:08

but congress is still involved in defining their responsibilities even

02:11

if the cia doesn't necessarily want them to know if

02:14

he's independent agencies can't quite call all the shots that

02:18

means quays i legislative and quays i judicial authority has

02:21

given to eat all independent regulatory agencies well regulatory agencies

02:26

like the securities and exchange commission and the federal communications

02:30

commission are some of the most powerful parts of the

02:32

bureaucracy They can establish regulations without congress That's the quays

02:37

i legislative part and then they can hold people accountable

02:40

when they don't adhere to those regulations That's the quays

02:43

i judicial part So is the correct answer These independent

02:46

regulatory agencies hold a great deal of power But with

02:48

great power comes great responsibility to perform pretty mundane bureaucratic 00:02:52.805 --> [endTime] functions
