Leadership Controversies and Governance Challenges

This chapter explores the contentious appointment of Amy Gleason as the administrator of the Office of Economic Opportunity, particularly in contrast to Elon Musk. It examines the broader implications of executive power dynamics, legal oversight, and the potential for a 'post-constitutional order' under the current administration. Additionally, the chapter addresses issues of meritocracy, racism, and gender inequality in leadership, especially in the context of recent budget proposals affecting marginalized groups.
