This chapter explores the tension between elected officials and unelected bureaucrats within the U.S. government, questioning the implications for democracy and accountability. The discussion highlights historical shifts in power, particularly stemming from a Supreme Court decision in 1937 that broadened Congressional authority, allowing for greater regulation by unaccountable agencies. Personal experiences and concerns about current leadership underscore the urgent need for transparency and the preservation of constitutional principles.
