Compare the vulnerability of the heads of executive departments versus those of regulatory agencies. (1 point) Neither heads can be fired by anyone except a congressional committee. In the former, heads cannot be fired during their terms of service, while in the latter, the president can fire the heads at will. The heads of the former can be fired at the will of the president; while the heads of the latter can't be fired during their terms except for extreme misconduct. Both types of heads can be fired at the president's will.
The vulnerability of the heads of executive departments versus those of regulatory agencies differs in terms of who has the authority to fire them and under what circumstances.
In the case of executive departments, the heads can be fired at the will of the president. This means that the president has the authority to dismiss the head of an executive department for any reason, including policy disagreements or performance-related issues.
On the other hand, the heads of regulatory agencies cannot be fired by the president during their terms of service, except for extreme cases of misconduct. This provides regulatory agency heads with more protection and independence from political interference compared to heads of executive departments.
Overall, the vulnerability of the heads of regulatory agencies is lower compared to the heads of executive departments due to the limitations on the president's ability to fire them.
