Hello, Daniel~~
Good post this week.
Bureaucracies have four main functions such as:
- A clear hierarchy that is strong chain of command. Its power is move from the top and the bottom.
-Specialty: Every department has their own responsibilities like expert on the field. -A separation of work: They work all together as like a piece.

    Morning, My apologies, I am Fort Jackson, SC doing another Army school which greatly delayed my post this week. The federal bureaucracy is not a fourth branch of government, it is an agency that works for the President of the United States and thou they may (like the EPA Environmental Protection Agency) have their own agenda they are not a law making branch. If they do then you would have more agencies and their employees “doing their own thing” like Kim Davis the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue a marriage licenses to same-sex couples even after the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefeel v. Hodges. They do handle almost every part of your life. It is believed there are probably over 2000 of these federal government agencies,

    The most important thing that the bureaucracy does is implement policy. Congress and the President make the policies and laws, but they have someone else (the bureaucracy) to implement them. However, they also make policy by rule-making (process of defining rules or standards that apply uniformly to classes of individuals, events, and activities). Also, according to Jillson (2016), "Congress passes laws that authorize government programs, the bureaucracy then writes specific rules that define how the program will be administered."

    The three branches of government include the executive, legislative, and judicial, each of them having different and vast responsibilities throughout the government. In order for these branches to co exist there is a system of checks and balances which allows the branches to share power. However, these checks and balances cant always induced the sharing of power, one branch might have more power than another, and I believe the most powerful branch is the judicial. I believe the judicial branch is most powerful because the supreme court resides within, and it has the final say in how power is used, even though all the branches have some degree of power at various times. This is because it can reverse decisions made by other judges, declare
