Explanation:

Bureaucracy is a system of government in which most of the important decisions are taken by state officials rather than by elected representatives.

Although the executive branch controls the majority of the federal bureaucracy, the legislative and judiciary branches also have some influence. Congress, for example, controls the Library of Congress, the Congressional Research Service, and the Government Accountability Office, among other bureaucracies.

The president influences control over the bureaucracy by: appointing agency directors and subheads (with Senate approval) issuing executive orders compelling an agency to do/not do something. So, indirectly he has influence and power over bureaucracy, since he appoints the executives there.
