Just had an idea… what if federal agencies of governance, like FTC, FBI, NSA, … had (1) immediate leadership voted on during elections (2) protections from being removed by anyone other than public vote / impeachment, (3) funding guarantees by ensuring all approved funds go through independent, highly secured processes. The administration shouldn’t be able to take control of agencies or defund ones they can’t. Better, we should be able to control their priorities — via control of their leadership. Maybe in such a world, we could already be prosecuting CEOs.
