The president doesn’t have final authority over the EPA. If he tried to exercise that kind of authority, expect talk of “impeachment” next. The same laws that prevent “spoils system” politics protect career bureaucrats.

Who do you think named Lisa Jackson as EPA administrator? The deputy administrator? Craig E. Hooks? etc. etc. etc.

The POTUS doesn't usually have to micro-manage agencies. Obama just named a bunch of green commies to run the cabinet agencies, and a bunch of czars with similar ideology.

They tried to impeach Bill Clinton. but not for firing 80 US attorneys in his first year.

The next POTUS will have to. These policies won't end with Obama. Much of what Obama has been doing in office is extending Bush policies. And people like Lisa Jackson didn't just come from an apartment above a Greenwich Village coffee house. She was with the EPA 16 years alone and has been a environmental bureaucrat much longer than that. But I'm sure no political agenda rubbed off on her during her years as a GS-somethingorother. Not at all. The teleprompter in chief is making all the decisions, yeah.
