What do Administrative Agencies do? Administrative agencies assist the legislative branch in developing and the executive branch in executing laws. Administrative agencies include departments, agencies, commissions, bureaus, boards, government corporations, and committees. Most administrative agencies fall under the control of the executive branch. There are, however, a few administrative agencies that are directly under the control of Congress, such as the Congressional Budget Office and the Library of Congress. The authority of the President over an administrative agency depends upon the genesis of the agency and whether it is an executive agency or independent agency. What are Executive Agencies? The US Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government and allows the President to establish employ agencies to carry out the executive function. Executive agencies include all of the departments under the Presidents authority.
