Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Deregulatory Initiative

On February 19, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14219, launching the "Department of Government Efficiency" Deregulatory Initiative aimed at reducing federal overreach by rescinding or modifying regulations deemed unconstitutional or burdensome. This order mandates federal agencies to review and prioritize the removal of rules that exceed statutory authority or impose significant costs without public benefit. While this initiative could streamline government operations and boost private enterprise, it may also face legal challenges regarding the interpretation of statutory authority and the balance of power between federal and state governments.
