I think there should be a list of agencies under the control of each office. Here is one that I think makes sense.
State
State
Defense
Defense
Veteran's Affairs
Homeland Security
CIA, NSA
Energy??
Treasury
Treasury
Commerce
Labor
HHS
Social Security Administration
SEC
Education??
HUD??
Attorney General
Justice
Interior??
Transportation??
Forum Affairs
Federal Election Commission
FCC
This made me realize how much we should create a Secretary of health, Education, and Welfare. That person should handle the social welfare polcies.
As probably most people would have guessed, I like this line of thinking. I'd probably put Energy under the Treasury Secretary's supervision.
A quiet but important inclusion under State is USAID.
I for one think the question of assigning (dismantaling, creating) intelligence agencies is a fun one...as it's a hot real-life issue as we speak. I'd enjoy seeing the Administration and Senate try to work out their ideas of the best solution. Of course maybe I'm the only who thinks that'd be fun. I'm a sick, sick man. Up to y'all.
HHS, Education, HUD...if those issues ever came up in the Executive Branch, I'd think they'd be better off with a seperate Supervisor than Treasury. Until then, I haven't observed any real interest in them whatsoever.
The great thing about this approach is that it keeps the number of Dept. heads to a minumum...which greatly improves the Administration's response time and doesn't bog down the game with TOO much bureaucracy. The Presidency overseeing 5-6 team members formulating successful policy is just about ideal, imo.
