FTR the president, who leads the executive branch of government, doesn’t lead the justice department, which is in the judicial branch, and until Trump 2016 that separation was almost always respected.
Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.
I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.
You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.
