He didn't; nobody would take the job so the Ministry appointed someone. They gave themselves the authority to do so because Cornelius Fudge is a horse's ass.
Umbridge.. no complexity to her, really, so I don't know that I have a ton to say. She is who she is and you can't forget her. All of her actions, words, and scenes speak for themselves and tell you everything you need to know about her.
