president Donald Trump The historical executive order took place on Tuesday, which will allow White House To control independent agencies that have worked long ago outside their impact.
The full matter, which claims to enhance “presidential supervision and control of the entire executive, may affect independent agencies such as the Federal Electoral Commission, the Federal Communications Committee, the Federal Trade Committee, the Securities and Exchange Committee.
It seems that it is designed to test a legal theory, which is called the unified executive theory, which sees that the president has control alone on the entire executive branch. It also reflects the increasing influence of the Trump budget president, Russell Fion, who has long been in support of the unified executive theory.
Certainly, this will be confronted quickly through legal challenges.

In addition to his role as head of the budget, Vogue also assumed a temporary title for the Acting Director of the Financial Consumer Protection Office, another independent agency, since he has since handed over a large percentage of employees and stopped financing.
