Checks and Balances
This would give me more solace if our government was working as intended. This kind of brings this discussion back around to the original topic at hand. If what is described as happening in the op-ed and in Woodward's book is accurate, then those checks and balances aren't working. We have unelected bureaucrats checking the elected Executive instead of the other two branches of government, which aren't providing the oversight to the administration that they should be if the checks and balances are working as designed.
