237. Unelected Bureaucrats
We oppose the appointment of unelected bureaucrats, and we support defunding and abolishing the departments or agencies of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); Education; Energy; Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Commerce; Health and Human Services (HHS); Labor; Interior (specifically, the Bureau of Land Management); Transportation Security Administration (TSA); Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); National Labor Relations Board; Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Centers for Disease Control (CDC); Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC); Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); and any other federal agency or department that is not authorized by the Constitution. In the interim, executive decisions by departments or agencies must be reviewed and approved by Congress before taking effect.
