AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.13
How might U.S. government function differ if discretionary authority was completely removed from bureaucratic agencies?
The executive branch would lose all control over law enforcement and policy implementation.
There would be less room for interpretation, leading to potentially rigid enforcement of regulations.
Judicial decisions regarding bureaucratic activities would cease, as courts no longer needed to review actions taken without discretion.
Congressional oversight would become irrelevant within bureaucratic operations.
