The main difference between a typical regulatory agency like the State Department and an independent agency like the Federal Reserve is the degree of control the president has over them. The State Department operates under the direct authority of the president, who can influence its policies and personnel decisions. In contrast, the Federal Reserve operates independently, with its leadership appointed by the president but not subject to direct presidential control, allowing it to make decisions based on economic conditions rather than political pressures. This independence is designed to ensure stability and credibility in monetary policy.
Agencies that do not fall under the Department of the Interior include the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice. Additionally, independent agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also do not fall under the Department of Interior. Each of these agencies operates under different mandates and jurisdictions.
