Nice try, like the IRS, what ever party they belong to, they work under Bush now.
Nice try, but this is nonsense. The FERC is an independent regulatory commission.
Like independent agencies, independent regulatory commissions exist outside the department structures. The original intention for the regulatory commission was to essentially set up a panel of experts that can be somewhat removed from the political process. These commissions tend to focus on particular commercial and economic issues. Through maintain long term issue interaction and issue leader contacts, these commissions become policy leaders for the national government. Older commissions are far more independent of the whims of the sitting President than new commissions.
The whole idea of an independent regulatory commission is that the President has no influence except through the appointments process. And it's been shown here that no Bush appointees were serving when this decision was made.
