What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Bolstering America's Democracy and Demanding Oversight and Government Ethics Act" or the "BAD DOGE Act," seeks to repeal President Donald Trump's January 20, 2025, Executive Order. The targeted Executive Order established the "Department of Government Efficiency." The legislation finds that the current organizations created by that order are operating beyond their intended authorities. It specifically highlights concerns regarding the leadership and actions of the USDSTO and its leadership. Ultimately, the bill aims to strip Executive Order 14158 of all force and effect.
