Maintain an interactive online US Government Organization Chart

What if we had a website that graphically depicts the organizational structure of our federal government?

This tool needs to be searchable, and I’d also recommend including the person with overall responsible authority, the annual budget, and links to department websites for each entity in the chart. Dynamic headcount and budget statistics as you navigate the chart would be a powerful addition.

Maybe we just start by publishing just the top 3 levels of government soon with the commitment to build on it over time.

Far too few citizens can name the three branches of government, much less any of the thousands of entities underneath them. Having such a tool would improve transparency and accountability, thereby improving trust.
