The federal bureaucracy is made up of the departments and agencies that do the work of the federal government. Most of these departments and agencies are in the Executive Branch, but the Judicial and Legislative branches also have agencies and departments. The people who work in these agencies and departments are known as "civil servants" or (with negative connotations) "bureaucrats". It is also informally known as the "4th Branch" because tenured employees are hard to remove under Civil Service, and these individuals may not suscribe to the policies set by the current administration.

The federal bureaucracy is huge: roughly 2.6 million employees, plus many freelance contractors. Everybody in the bureaucracy works to administer the law. For the most part, the executive branch manages the federal bureaucracy. Although the executive branch controls the majority of the federal bureaucracy, the legislative and judiciary branches also have some influence. Congress, for example, controls the Library of Congress, the Congressional Research Service, and the Government Accountability Office, among other bureaucracies. Through its power of oversight, Congress also monitors the federal bureaucracy to make sure that it acts properly. The courts sometimes get involved in the bureaucracy when issues of law and constitutionality arise, such as when a civil service regulation is violated or if an agency oversteps its jurisdiction. There are five types of organizations in the federal bureaucracy: Cabinet departments Independent executive agencies Independent regulatory agencies Government corporations Presidential commissions

Many independent agencies hold important policy-making powers. Even some agencies within the executive departments hold such powers. These agencies use their prerogative to enforce social policies. The Internal Revenue Service, for example, has become on of the most powerful organizations of the federal government. It has used its power to interpret and enforce tax laws in order to promote the agency's socialistic sense of economic fairness.

No. The U.S. Government's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sets many types of personnel policies and standards to which federal executive agencies must adhere. The General Services Administration (GSA) is a centralized purchasing agent that serves most other federal government agencies and departments. For example, GSA's Public Buildings Service is the landlord for the federal government. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, among other things, maintains a stable of contractors that provide services in a vast array of areas, such as environmental, public relations and communications, translation and interpretation, energy efficiency, furniture management, certain types of engineering, and many others. Other federal agencies and departments are not required to use GSA contractors; but many do. The GSA Schedule Contract Program is popular among federal buyers because it offers a streamlined way that a federal program manager can obtain contractor services, compared to traditional procurement methods.
