Trump is now in charge of every agency, independent or otherwise. All changes must go through him. This includes agencies that Congress established to not be managed by the executive branch.

Separation of powers is dead. Executive supremacy is law. The Constitution was destroyed by those claiming to save America.

This reads to me like regulatory bodies created specifically to be independent are now not as independent as they were. This only applies to executive bodies.

While I understand what they are saying, I disagree with their definitions.

If Republicans have control of all three branches of government, then why even write the executive order?

This is not about power. It’s about obscuring his actions by circumventing legislation, while attempting to keep Congress’s hands clean. It’s the same reason the ‘newly headless’ DOGE is the office taking action.

An executive order can be challenged by Congress or declared unconstitutional by the courts. Until then, our entire government is complicit is his actions.
