Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Regulatory Initiative

The President has issued an order to streamline government regulations by ensuring they strictly adhere to constitutional and statutory authority, aiming to reduce federal overreach and administrative burdens. This initiative mandates a review of existing regulations to identify those that are unconstitutional, overly burdensome, or not in the national interest, with a focus on rescinding or modifying such rules. Politically, this move could face challenges from those who see it as undermining regulatory protections, while legally, it emphasizes a strict interpretation of the separation of powers, potentially leading to significant changes in how federal agencies operate.
