President Trump Signs Executive Order to Ensure Lawful Enforcement
ENSURING LAWFUL ENFORCEMENT: In a move to uphold lawful governance and streamline regulatory processes, President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) deregulatory initiative. This Executive Order aims to put an end to Federal overreach in regulation and enforcement, restoring the constitutional separation of powers.
- Agency heads, in collaboration with their DOGE team leads and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), will conduct a thorough review of all regulations under their jurisdiction to ensure consistency with the law and Trump Administration policy. Priority will be given to rules that impose significant costs.
- A Unified Agenda will be developed to identify and repeal or modify regulations that are not in line with the law or the Trump Administration’s policy.
- Agencies are instructed to use enforcement discretion to de-prioritize actions that exceed statutory authority or go beyond the constitutional powers of the Federal Government.
- The Executive Order includes exemptions for actions related to military, national security, homeland security, foreign affairs, or immigration functions of the United States.
ELIMINATING UNLAWFUL REGULATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT: Over the years, the accumulation of federal regulations and their burdensome enforcement have hindered economic growth and restricted American freedom.
- During the Biden Administration, a record $1.7 trillion in costs were imposed on the American people.
- This Executive Order aims to halt and reverse regulatory overreach and abusive enforcement, ensuring that government operations are responsible, lawful, and efficient.
BUILDING ON PAST SUCCESS: President Trump’s first term saw the most successful deregulatory efforts in American history. This Executive Order is a continuation of those efforts, aiming to enhance the daily lives of the American people and usher in a new Golden Age for America.
