Civil Service Employees: These are individuals who work for bureaucratic agencies but are not appointed. They go through a competitive hiring process based on merit rather than being handpicked by executive branch officials.
Executive Branch: This refers to the branch of government that is responsible for enforcing laws. The President, as the head of the executive branch, has the authority to appoint officials within bureaucratic agencies.
Confirmation Process: Before an appointed official can assume their position, they must be confirmed by the Senate. This involves a hearing where Senators evaluate their qualifications and suitability for the role.
