Accountability of bureaucracies is essential to ensure their effectiveness and prevent abuse of power. The president and congress should establish clear guidelines, oversight mechanisms, and performance metrics to hold bureaucracies accountable for their actions. Regular audits, evaluations, and reporting can help identify and address any issues or inefficiencies within bureaucracy. Additionally, the president and congress should have the authority to enforce disciplinary actions or implement reforms when necessary.
Johnson had been in congress for years before he was Vice President. He knew how to legislate and knew congress. Understanding government is a critical part of getting bills passed. President Ford once commented that the only difference between politics in his time and Washington's was his was lit by electricity and Washington used candles. Politics is more than just stopping legislative actions, but it is knowing how to negotiate a deal. We seem to have lost this idea.
