Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order expanding presidential control over independent agencies, including the FTC, FCC, and SEC.
The order enforces the “unitary executive theory,” which argues the president has sole authority over the executive branch. It grants Trump’s budget chief, Russell Vought, oversight of these agencies’ performance and budgets.
The move is expected to face legal challenges, as past presidents have largely respected agency independence.
Trump defended the order, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
The guard rail should have been prosecuting Trump before he ran again. Or you can have enforcement come from outside the government by having strong unions that can shut down the economy if the government starts breaking the law and doing bad things. There are guard rails that can be put in place to help but the US has very few that are still left trying to hold back the illegal actions.
every day i am so upset to have been forced to vote for biden because he wasn’t trump, only for him and his administration to sit around for 4 years and let trump get away with all of his crimes, only for all of this. i honestly don’t see any reason to vote for a Democratic status-quo candidate again, even if satan himself is running against him. I’ll vote when progressives are on the ticket.
