ELI5: Re: Net Neutrality; how exactly is the FCC a standalone entity and why cannot the President tell them to do what he wants? it's part of the executive branch, and the President is the head of the executive branch.

It's classified as an Independent Agency within the Executive Branch. It's to ensure that the President doesn't have too much power over something that is technically supposed to be non-partisan. The President appoints the head of the FCC, as well as the members of the Commission, but that's where his authority ends.
