New series here. No opinions. No commentary from me. Just quotes from recently released directives that caught my attention. Maybe they’ll trigger something in your mind too.
First up is an Executive Order related to Independent Regulatory Agencies. I encourage you to read the order in its entirety in addition to reading the excerpts below.
2025-02-18 — Executive Order – Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies
“Agency,” unless otherwise indicated, means any authority of the United States that is an “agency” under 44 U.S.C. 3502(1), and shall also include the Federal Election Commission.
The Director of OMB shall establish performance standards and management objectives for independent agency heads, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, and report periodically to the President on their performance and efficiency in attaining such standards and objectives.
No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law,…
For the Federal Government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President.
The heads of independent regulatory agencies shall establish a position of White House Liaison in their respective agencies.
