The newly signed executive order is instructed by a Trump signing on Tuesday to coordinate with federal agencies and carry out massive cuts in federal staffing numbers.
The order directs Doge and federal agencies to work together to reduce the size of the federal government and limit the size of new employees. Specifically, none of every four employees leaving their federal positions can employ more than one employee.
The agency will also be directed to “implement a massive reduction plan” and evaluate the ways in which the agency functions are eliminated or incorporated by non-legal requirements.

Trump also requested that the president’s aides in national security affairs, economic policy and domestic policies identify and submit additional committee and board lists within 30 days of the order.
The Trump administration notes that the American people elect President Trump to drain the swamp and end invalid government plans to empower the government without having to achieve measurable results.
Trump also said he wanted to give voters what they wanted – to solve all these “all the terrible things” – and told reporters that he hopes the court system can cooperate.
“I hope the court system will enable us to do what we have to do,” Trump said, adding that he will always comply with the court’s ruling but will be prepared to appeal.
