- 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
