	Fourth branch of government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the American political system, the fourth branch of government refers to the growing collective of administrative agencies that exercise power officially reserved for the "first three" branches (or not reserved at all).
		Since the American Constitution specifically defines a three-branch model of governance (legislative, judicial, and executive), reference to the "fourth branch" is often a kind of rhetorical shorthand to illustrate the illegitimacy of certain types of governmental authority, and usually laden with skepticism towards whence such authority originates.
		In short, to assert a "fourth branch" of government is to assert, at mildest, governmental exercise of power not sanctioned by written constitutions (whether federal or local) and, at most extreme, an American political system run amuck with lawlessness.

	Separation of powers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept is also prominent in the state governments of the United States; as colonies of Britain, the founding fathers felt that the American states had suffered an abuse of the broad power of the monarchy.
		Because of its importance to modern governance, the regulatory bureaucracy of the executive is sometimes referred to as a "fourth" branch of government.
		Because the judicial branch is often a part of a state or county government, the geographic jurisdiction of local judges is often not coterminous with municipal boundaries.

	Eunuch Archive Message Boards - A Fourth Branch of Government?
		A fourth branch of government would have a role vaguely similar to that of the Governor General in Canada, in that it would have no active power, but would have some influence on the conduct of government.
		Since it's difficult to change the makeup of the Supreme Court unless one or more of the justices resigns, the proposal was, that a fourth branch of government be established, and that it have the sole function of defining and limiting the powers of the other branches of government.
		I don't recall what the characteristics of the fourth branch were supposed to be, but I presume that an elective body the size of the Senate or smaller would have been chosen to be that branch.

	Branches of Government - The Fourth Branch is the People
		The Judicial branch is the Courts who interpret the law and determine of laws are constitutional.
		In this capacity, the People act as the fourth branch of government to take control and to override their decisions that violate the Fundamental Rights of the People to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
		When you look at the People as the fourth branch of government then it is more accurate to say that judicial corruption invokes the responsibility of the People to take whatever steps are necessary in order to bring the Judiciary into compliance with the Law.

		While the other branches contain their own systems of checks and balances, the Media branch polices itself, which can be problematic at best, depending on the subject matter in question.
		The vast majority of elected members of the two branches are only given access to mass media when they may be the subjects of the news, or request that access through the Media branch.
		The Media branch, by their very nature, should be accountable to no one but should be governed by common sense, ethics, and self-restraint.

	a clever sheep: The Fourth Branch of Government
		And with the mainstream press's performance at the presidential press conference the other night, it is obvious that reporters value their access much more than the truth or their historical watchdog status.
		In the days when the checks and balances actually seemed to work, the press was sometimes referred to as "the fourth branch of government" for its ability to offset the the power of the three constitutional branches.
		Unfortunately for the citizenry, the "fourth branch" has become just as compromised as the other three; where that description was once a badge of honor, it has now become a shameful epithet.
