Independent bureaucratic agencies and Cabinet departments are created by:
  1. The President of the United States
  2. Congress
  3. The Constitution
  4. The Supreme Court
  5. Our imaginations
Explanation
Answer: B -Congress is responsible for creating, describing the duties of, and funding all federal bureaucracies. This gives Congress considerable power over what a bureaucracy does, even though the bureaucracy is in the executive branch. Bureaucrats are much more likely to be responsive to members of Congress than anyone else. So, if your grandma doesn’t get her Social Security check, contact your congressperson first.
