President Trump's recent executive order, titled "Ensuring Accountability For All Agencies," purportedly aims to align federal agency policies with elected leadership. However, it effectively consolidates power within the executive branch, granting the president and the Department of Justice unprecedented authority to dictate regulatory actions. This shift undermines the independence of agencies established by Congress, placing all significant regulations under review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The move has serious implications for the future of democratic governance in the U.S.
The executive order allows the president to exert control over independent agencies, undermining their Congressional mandate and ensuring all policies align with presidential agenda.
Under the order, regulatory actions require review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, giving Trump the power to eliminate rules he opposes.
