\n
One of the most closely watched efforts introduced by Donald Trump upon his return to the White House is undeniably DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).<\/p>\n
Two of Trump\u2019s closest allies\u2014multi-billionaire Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur turned politician and former presidential candidate\u2014will lead the new body.<\/p>\n
DOGE is an advisory group rather than a federal department. Musk and Ramaswamy work \u2018pro bono\u2019 as external private experts. They aim to slash all \u201cunnecessary costs and regulations,\u201d resulting in a more streamlined and efficient administration.<\/p>\n
They pledge to restructure some of the leading federal agencies or even completely liquidate them.<\/p>\n
Ramaswami vows to shut down the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the US Department of Education.<\/p>\n
Musk is trying to dismantle all bureaucracy and promises overall cuts of around $2 trillion, about a third of the federal government\u2019s annual budget.<\/p>\n
In a first glimpse of what will happen when DOGE is up and running, last month, the power duo stopped a bipartisan spending bill in Congress by taking to social media, urging taxpayers to help \u201cstop the steal,\u201d and threatening lawmakers with primary challenges if they voted for it.<\/p>\n
From a legal point of view, however, there could be some big hurdles on the horizon. \u201cNotwithstanding its formal name, the Department of Government Efficiency will be purely advisory in nature,\u201d notes Caleb Burns, Attorney at Law at Wiley Rein. \u201cWhether it can operate privately, and the extent to which the President can execute on DOGE\u2019s recommendations, is not as a legal matter entirely clear and may have to be settled by the courts. The President cannot simply wipe regulations off the books,\u201d he adds, \u201cbut must comply with the Administrative Procedure Act, requiring agencies to take certain deliberative actions which are often grounds for legal challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mixed expectations surround DOGE\u2019s ability to address government inefficiency. Resistance from entrenched corporate lobbies and the financial impact of deep cuts to government assistance on voters will pose significant challenges.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
