Independent Executive Agencies
Independent Executive Agencies are part of the Executive branch, but are not included in any Executive departments or the White House Representatives. The president appoints the heads of these agencies, with some requiring further confirmation from the Senate, to do the work of the government. The employees of these agencies are called civil servants. There are over 100 independent agencies, varying in size, budget allotments, and power, but a few examples include:
CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)
