"The US Institute of Peace: A Rogue Agency Defying Presidential Authority" : https://amuseonx.substack.com/p/the-us-institute-of-peace-a-rogue

Government agencies with too much power continue to shape policy without direct accountability, raising concerns about the balance between bureaucracy vs democracy. Independent agencies and accountability have become major issues as entities like the US Institute of Peace function with little oversight. But how independent agencies operate is not always clear to the public. Are independent agencies constitutional, or have they drifted beyond their intended role?

Who controls the administrative state when government institutions with no oversight can influence major decisions? The role of Congress in government oversight is supposed to ensure checks and balances, yet congressional oversight of agencies has weakened over time. Bureaucratic overreach in the US has led to unelected officials making policy without approval from elected representatives.

Power struggles in the federal government continue as legislative power vs bureaucratic power becomes more lopsided. Are independent agencies part of the government, or do they operate in a separate realm? How much power do independent agencies have when they do not answer directly to the electorate? Do independent agencies follow the Constitution, or has the separation of powers in government been undermined?

How the administrative state weakens democracy is becoming more evident as agencies expand their influence beyond congressional authority. What is the US Institute of Peace, and why does it operate with such autonomy? Government agencies that operate in secrecy present a challenge to transparency and accountability. As concerns grow, the question remains—should independent agencies continue to function without significant reforms?
