Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies

Executive Order February 24, 2025 Document 2025-03063

Summary

President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14215, mandating increased presidential oversight of all federal agencies, including those previously considered independent. This order requires these agencies to submit significant regulatory actions for review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, aiming to ensure accountability and a unified execution of federal law. While the order could enhance executive branch coherence, it may face legal challenges or political pushback due to concerns over the erosion of agency independence and potential overreach of executive power.
