Although the Comm. Act of 1934 established the FCC as independent from the 
Executive Branch, the President is responsible for the appointment of the 
five commissioners.  In a sense, it's a system of joint accountability 
between the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government. 
Between the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary Branches, there's a pretty 
good "checks and balances" system in place.
