While members of federal agencies are not elected, their heads are appointed by elected officials.

I never understood the whole "un-elected officials" argument. How many people should we have on the ballot? 10s of thousands?

That isn't the point. My government is supposed to have it's rules made by one body, congress. It's very strange to me that there's a large contingent of people - even some who pretend to be lawyers - who think that it's fine that some random guy that gets hired through a political appointment by the executive is the one actually making the rules.
