Establishing and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency"

Executive Order January 29, 2025 Document 2025-02005

Summary

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order establishing the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) to modernize federal technology and improve government productivity. This initiative involves renaming the United States Digital Service to the United States DOGE Service, creating temporary structures within the Executive Office, and forming specialized teams in each agency. By mandating access to agency records and systems, this order aims to enhance inter-agency collaboration, though it may raise concerns about data security and privacy, and its implementation will depend on available funding and legal considerations.
