In his Response to Professor Criddle's proposal of a fiduciary model of popular representation in administrative regulation, Professor Staszewski generally agrees with Criddle's skepticism of the presidential-control model but identifies four challenges that scholars must overcome when developing alternative theories to the presidential-control model of administrative regulation.  First, he argues that scholars should account for the importance of elections.  Second, they should account for the proper role of political preferences.  Third, they must develop oversight mechanisms apart from judicial review that are not prohibitively expensive.  Finally, they should seek to reduce the fear of uncertainty accompanying the abandonment of the presidential-control model.
