Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH) has raised concerns over President Trump’s recent executive orders, claiming they infringe upon Congressional authority. He particularly criticized the Department of Government Efficiency, overseen by Elon Musk, which has seen mass layoffs and funding freezes without Congressional approval. Despite supporting Musk's aim to downsize the federal government, Balderson insisted that it is Congress's role to make such decisions, not the president or private sector figures. Trump's administration has given mixed signals regarding Musk's official capacity, raising legal and governance questions.
Congress has to decide whether or not the Department of Education goes away, not the president, not Elon Musk.
Trump's executive orders are getting out of control.
I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.
