To whomever Congress' wants. Congress could pass a law requiring the head of the CIA to wear a purple suit and give a massage to the Senator of Rhose Island.

No need to waste further time here. Every agency in the federal government reports to the President. EVERY ONE. And that is not because Congress says so, but because the Constitution mandates such. I won't bother with your posts any more, rant away at me all you want.

I guess you think the CEO of IBM is actually the one in charge, as opposed to the Board of Directors...

Whatever.

I tell you what... I'll just throw out the 25 or so volumes of the United State Code that set forth -- in great detail -- the manner in whcih our federal agencies (from the FAA to the CIA to OSHA) are to be run, how much the members are to be paid, to whom they are to report (directly to Congress in many cases), etc., etc.

What a dolt.

Wouldn't it be much better to read the Constitution before getting upset and closing or going off on rants?

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department, or fficer thereof".

The last 7 words speak volumes...."or officer" includes the President of the United States!
