 Unelected bureaucrats are a national scourge.
<p>
Here`s the solution.
<p>
Since Senators haven`t done anything worthwhile for a long time , I suggest they be assigned to Federal agencies as directors just like they are assigned to committees in Congress . These Senator-directors can be called Senadirs .
<p>
The Secretary of the agency would still be appointed by the president. They would set policy for the directors. However, the directors would be responsible for implementing regulations. A Senadir cannot be fired by the Secretary but the Secretary may ask the Senate for a replacement.
<p>
Since Sentors should know the Law and are responsible for legialation it is reasonable they assume the responsibility for the Regulations that follow.
<p>
So, if there is a problem with over-regulation ( excuse me , I meant to say ~when~ ), the Senadir would Consider whether or not the regulation met the apirit of the law.
<p>
For each unpopular Regulation the Senadir would have three options:
<ol>
<li> determine the Regulation is an overreach of the Law and rescind it
<li> propose the underlying Law be rewritten
<li> face being voted out of office
</ol>
The advantages of this strategy are:
<ol>
<li> Makes the Senate responsible for the regulations flowing from legialation
<li> Gives each Senator something concrete to do
<li> Integrates the Executive and Legislative branches of government
<li> Connects budgeting with expenditures
<li> Reduces the number of political payback featherbeds.
<li> Makes the Senator more accountable to the voters for the ramifications of their legislation.
</ol>
