If not the President, then who can fire them? Somebody has to be in charge.
The basic problem is Congress made a bunch of executive agencies that are making law. FTC, FCC, EPA, etc don't just enforce law they decide what is legal and illegal with their rulemaking.
That's Congress's job. Just have a committee that does FTC-style rulemaking, then Congress votes and passes the new rules in some omnibus nobody reads, then the Executive branch enforces them. Then the Pres can fire and replace whoever is at FTC, but can't have somebody change the rules on a whim.
