The federal bureaucracy is not defined in the Constitution; it is a creature of laws. What was originally a small, elite corps of socially prominent men in 1789 became, with the inauguration of Andrew Jackson, a group of ordinary citizens who served for short stints of time. Civil service was protected from partisanship with the Pendleton Act, but Congress and the president continued to wrestle over control of these executive agencies. The Office of Management and Budget coordinates the annual budget process and has the ability to reorganize the bureaucracy, subject to congressional approval. An Executive Office of the President oversees agency activities on the president's behalf.
