Looks like the President was unsatisfied with the apparent inefficiencies and outright failures of several federal agencies he inherited and as a result has reorganized and consolidated in an effort to gain efficiency and better control over the departments under his command. And that's probably a good thing.

As far as investing too much power in the state is concerned, well, I don't think the President or the Congress has the power to do that. I doubt that this act changes the Constitution.

Yes, the agencies have been woefully inefficient. Working to fix them with an end runaround is not a bad thing. And yes, I'm with you on the Constitution being so durable,it's something to thank God for, but, (just between you and me :) I am rattled by this HSB, nonetheless. V's wife.
