The federal government is brimming with hundreds of agencies and millions of employees, many of whom enjoy some independence from political accountability. But the President is supposed to be responsible for everything that happens in his branch of the government.

In a series of cases, however, the Supreme Court has required clear lines of accountability so that the buck stops with the President.
