Bill > HR1535

This bill seeks to repeal President Donald Trump's January 20, 2025 Executive Order establishing the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) due to significant alleged overreach and constitutional violations. The bill highlights that the United States DOGE Service (USDS) and its Temporary Organization (USDSTO), reportedly led by Elon Musk without proper appointment or oversight, have taken unauthorized actions including freezing federal payments, accessing personnel records from the Office of Personnel Management, controlling Treasury payment systems, locking federal employees out of computer systems, offering employee buyouts, and attempting to terminate federal agencies without congressional approval. These actions are characterized as potential violations of multiple constitutional provisions, including Separation of Powers and the Spending Clause, as well as numerous federal statutes such as the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act, the Anti-Deficiency Act, and the Privacy Act. The bill, officially named the "Bolstering America's Democracy and Demanding Oversight and Government Ethics Act" (BAD DOGE Act), would completely nullify the original executive order, rendering it without legal force or effect.
