Trump Administration Extends Its Attempted Power Grab with Executive Orders

Trump Administration Extends Its Attempted Power Grab with Executive Orders
SHARE

The recent signing of three Executive Orders by President Trump has sparked concerns about the increased power and oversight the White House now has over federal agencies. These executive orders aim to give the President and his advisors unprecedented control over how agencies operate, raising fears of unchecked power and political interference.

The first Executive Order, signed on February 18, asserts White House control over independent agencies like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee (FERC). It mandates these agencies to submit all regulatory actions to the White House Office of Management and Budget and requires the President and Attorney General to provide authoritative interpretations of the law.

The second Executive Order, issued on February 19, directs federal agencies to review all their rules and regulations and deprioritize or terminate any that do not align with Administration policy priorities. This move could lead to the rescinding of regulations without proper analysis or consideration of public feedback.

The third Executive Order, signed on February 26, orders federal agencies to review all contracts and spending and terminate or modify those that do not align with Administration priorities. This could result in abrupt changes in policies and practices across the government.

These Executive Orders threaten the independence of federal agencies, especially independent regulatory agencies like the NRC and FERC, designed to make decisions based on expertise and evidence. By giving the White House ultimate control over regulations, spending, and law interpretation, these orders undermine the purpose of independent agencies and open the door to political interference.

The impact of these Executive Orders on science-based policy and decision-making is concerning. By placing political priorities over scientific evidence, the administration risks compromising public health, safety, and environmental protections. The erosion of regulatory independence and scientific integrity could have far-reaching consequences for the well-being of the country.

It is crucial to understand that Executive Orders are not laws and can be challenged in court if they violate the Constitution or existing legal interpretations. Advocacy efforts, such as supporting the Scientific Integrity Act and staying informed through campaigns like Save Science Save Lives, can help protect science in policymaking.

As we continue to monitor the effects of these Executive Orders, it is essential to remain vigilant and advocate for evidence-based decision-making in government. The future of science and public welfare depends on upholding the integrity of regulatory agencies and safeguarding the role of science in policy development.
