The question to decide

A watershed restoration agency with a 100-year mission has operated for 40 years without manual instructions. A new generation wants to build houses in the restored areas, but the agency argues that changing the mission would impair the interests of future beneficiaries. What authority should the federal constitutional congress leave with this agency, and who should be able to replace the agency, and through what procedure?
