That has nothing to do with it. Congress should still have to declare an operation like what is happening in Iran.

IMO most of these appointments should be done by congress itself, the only reason they are done by the executive is because the role of president was a created on the template of the role of king.

except that without a "prime minister" now there is no separation between the "king" and the fulcrum of political power.
