Why DOGE is unconstitutional

‘Even under the most aggressive view of the president’s “unitary executive” control over the entire executive branch and independent agencies, it is Congress’s sole authority to appropriate and legislate for our entire government. The president basically directs the executive branch within the contours prescribed by Congress, subject to constitutional checks and balances. To be sure, the president and Congress share policy responsibility because the president recommends budgets and necessary and expedient measures to Congress, whose bills the president can sign into law or veto. But in the end, the president is constitutionally stuck with the policies for the federal government that Congress enacts and appropriates. No one person in America is the law — not even a Trump or an Elon Musk.

So, how can the radical overhaul Trump and Musk are undertaking be reconciled with our constitutional order? Quite simply, it cannot be. Congress must step in to enact this radical transformation — or the Supreme Court must stop it.

In the past several years, the court has provided unmistakable direction that Congress, not the executive, determines the scope of federal policy. The court even narrowed the president’s previously long-held entitlement to deference when interpreting ambiguous laws and policies.

Specifically, the Trump-Musk quest for government efficiency is led by a “department” that Congress did not establish, by unelected operatives who exercise overwhelming authority without appointment under the appointments clause, who are not subject apparently to any checks and balances, who are not faithfully executing the laws Congress has appropriated and legislated, and who are in the process of eliminating whole agencies, programs and millions of employees without any congressional authorization whatsoever. And they are doing so without explaining and recommending such measures to Congress (or to the public, for that matter).’

There is no ‘DOGE’ – it is neither a department nor authorized agency; it is a lawless, un-Constitutional contrivance of Trump and Musk.

You are an idiot........DOGE recommends...the President acts......the perfect use of over sight. These agencies are in the executive branch, an Co-equal branch of government.......congress has no role in directing executive branch agencies.

As Derek Hunter points out in his podcast.......the only two elected officials in the entire White House and executive branch, are the President and Vice President you moron.....

Is DOGE constitutional? Legal? And who’s actually cutting what?

The real story here isn’t about constitutionality or legality—it’s about the political elite panicking over finally being held accountable.

You really screwed the pooch on this one, eh?

This is what happens when you s imply regurgitate talking points w/o bothering to read them, much less look at them critically.

^^^Look at the lengths the left is going to hide their money-laundering, theft, and corruption.

We're in the Second American Revolution, make no mistake.

Fucking hilarious that you think that DOGE is un-Constitutional but all of the programs they are going after are.

Victor Davis Hansen still lives in the 1950s. I guess it's too painful to come up to 2025.

Victor Davis Hansen twists himself up in pretzels to make excuses for the horrific stuff Trump and Musk are doing. So sad to see an old man do that to himself.

Trump and Musk are doing great

If you can point to anything Hanson says that isnt true, tell us and we’ll discuss it

VDH doesn't talk about how DOGE is an unconstitutional agency. He used to talk real ugly about Obama not following the Constitution, but he gives the current White House occupant a pass.

Thats because DOGE isnt unconstitutional

Only a majority ruling by the highest court can say that

And it hasnt happened

DOGE is looking at operations within the Executive Branch

And that is the President’s privilage

DOGE is as constitutional as Reagan's "Grace Commission" was back in 1984.
Presidents have article 2 power to run the Executive Branch as he sees fit.
Prove me wrong.

Those judges are not authorized in the Constitution. They are way outside their lane. The USSC needs to tell them that.
