Currently under the Constitution, Congress cannot create, modify, or eliminate executive departments, including those already created by Congress in the past; only the president can. This amendment will fix this problem by also giving Congress to ability to create executive departments with officials appointed by the President.

After speaking with another representative, they helped me come up with a new amendment which will protect cabinet officials and those in other positions created by executive order from being removed by Congress terminating the department, while still allowing Congress to have powers over other agencies and departments that are/were created in Congress.

The compromise that I'd advocate for is this: Give Congress the power to establish specific agencies, offices, etc., but give the President control of the Departments, of which agencies fall into which departments, and who heads the departments.
I echo Sestak's concerns, and this would be a doable plan.

Would this meet that compromise?

With every representative voting, the final vote stands as:

Aye: 5 (Adam, JGibson, Jimmy7812, MAINEiac4434, razze)
Nay: 2 (LouisvilleThunder, Young Texan)
Abstain: 0
Missed: 2 (OSR, Vern)

Therefore, voting has closed and this bill fails 5-2-0-2.
