		But as in other areas of political life, what was originally intended quite literally to rest "in one man" (or "one body") is now part of a bureaucratic process that is both invisible to the Constitution and relatively free from public scrutiny or at least public attention.
		Remember that it took a long time for there to be standing committees in Congress (not mentioned in the Constitution) and it took a long time for the multiple bureaucratic agencies to develop to help both Congress and the President with their legislative goals (not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, either).
		The distinction between "high politics" and "low politics" as advanced by Jack Balkin is relevant here, though: it's appropriate for courts to be engaged in battles over the politics of principle, but not appropriate for them to engage in the politics of (mere) partisan advancement.
