President Trump signed the executive command on Tuesdays with the aim of expanding the authority of the White House over various independent regulatory agencies, a move that is likely to cause legal challenges.
Trump issued an order entitled “Providing responsibilities for all agencies”, which would require independent agencies such as Securities Commission and Stock Exchange (FTC) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to submit the proposed regulations of white home for a review, writes the Hill.
The order also calls on the head of the management and budget office, currently Russella Vought, to review the costs of these agencies to ensure their compliance with president’s priorities.
“These regulatory agencies are currently a significant executive power without sufficient responsibility towards the President, and through him, and according to the American people,” the order is stated. “Moreover, these regulatory agencies were allowed to make significant regulations without review by the President.”
This executive action is expected to cause a legal battle, given that the Congress has established that the Agencies of the Command concerns act with a certain degree of independence from the White House.
This order is the latest in a series of controversial trump moves to try to consolidate power within the executive and eliminate what its advisors see as unpolluted bureaucrats that could interfere with its agenda.
The President in his first weeks at office dismissed several general inspectors who monitored the work of various government agencies and fired the leaders of the Agency appointed by the previous administration.
On Sunday, Trump’s Ministry of Justice requested the Supreme Court to approve the president’s dismissal of the Federal Bunster Protection Office, and the outcome of that lawsuit could point out how far Trump will be able to expand the executive.
