The White House's new provision emphasizes a shift in legal interpretation powers from independent regulatory agencies to the executive branch. This executive order reflects a unitary executive theory, as highlighted by public advocacy groups questioning its constitutionality. Critics, including legal experts, argue this undermines the autonomy of established independent agencies and places the president as the ultimate authority on law interpretations, raising concerns about the implications for democracy and law enforcement. The order disregards the checks and balances intended by Congress, positioning the White House interpretations as the most definitive.
In this latest Executive Order, the Trump regime purports to seize for itself the power Congress delegated to independent regulatory agencies, declaring the White House's interpretation of the law as 'authoritative.'
Russell Vought stated there are no independent agencies as the Constitution does not recognize them, suggesting the whole notion should be discarded.
