I'm of the view that these organizations can be ostensibly apolitical and functional independently IF the president so chooses to allow it to do so. If the president decides that the organization isn't functioning as the law requires due to those who are operating it, then he can replace them and put them back on their legally mandated tasks. This does by nature give the president considerable influence over such agencies but that is for the voters to determine when they chose the president.
