I will give my views on this.

Use a separation of powers approach.
Leave the collection of raw data with the NSA.
Leave the arresting of people with the FBI.

Check the org chart: Both are under the President.
Some separation of powers you have there.

I will put it this way, technical the Supreme Court Judges are servants
of the US President.

Where do you get this weird reading of the Constitution? No they are not.
Anymore than members of Congress are servants of the president. They are
independent branches of the Government.


Providing the US President is the only person in charge of both the FBI
and the NSA there is sufficient separation. A close eye needs to be
kept on orders from the President and the interface between the two
organisations. Fortunately Congressmen and Senators can read documents
such as Presidential orders.
