COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR REORGANIZING THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. This order is intended to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the executive branch by directing the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (Director) to propose a plan to reorganize governmental functions and eliminate unnecessary agencies (as defined in section 551(1) of title 5, United States Code), components of agencies, and agency programs.
Sec. 2. Proposed Plan to Improve the Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Accountability of Federal Agencies, Including, as Appropriate, to Eliminate or Reorganize Unnecessary or Redundant Federal Agencies. (a) Within 180 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall submit to the Director a proposed plan to reorganize the agency, if appropriate, in order to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of that agency.
(b) The Director shall publish a notice in the Federal Register inviting the public to suggest improvements in the organization and functioning of the executive branch and shall consider the suggestions when formulating the proposed plan described in subsection (c) of this section.
(c) Within 180 days after the closing date for the submission of suggestions pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the Director shall submit to the President a proposed plan to reorganize the executive branch in order to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of agencies. The proposed plan shall include, as appropriate, recommendations to eliminate unnecessary agencies, components of agencies, and agency programs, and to merge functions. The proposed plan shall include recommendations for any legislation or administrative measures necessary to achieve the proposed reorganization.
(d) In developing the proposed plan described in subsection (c) of this section, the Director shall consider, in addition to any other relevant factors:
(i) whether some or all of the functions of an agency, a component, or a program are appropriate for the Federal Government or would be better left to State or local governments or to the private sector through free enterprise;
(ii) whether some or all of the functions of an agency, a component, or a program are redundant, including with those of another agency, component, or program;
(iii) whether certain administrative capabilities necessary for operating an agency, a component, or a program are redundant with those of another agency, component, or program;
(iv) whether the costs of continuing to operate an agency, a component, or a program are justified by the public benefits it provides; and
(v) the costs of shutting down or merging agencies, components, or programs, including the costs of addressing the equities of affected agency staff.
(e) In developing the proposed plan described in subsection (c) of this section, the Director shall consult with the head of each agency and, consistent with applicable law, with persons or entities outside the Federal Government with relevant expertise in organizational structure and management.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 13, 2017.
Ha....take that you big government Democrats!!!
Oh the HOWLS will be tremendous!
Some “fresh” air is blowing out of the W.H. and the Knee-Pad media wandering helplessly around, NOT understanding it !!!
CTH ???
Si no comprende
Some wasteful spending is explicitly contained in laws passed by Congress and signed by the President. The President is sworn to faithfully execute those laws.
Fuurthermore, Trump is a negotiator. He is likely to negotiate on both this and other topics. The more pressure we put on the politicians he negotiates with, the better the outcome of the negotiations.

... and make this list match: List of Federal Agencies
Where the second link does not have an EXPRESS and DEFINITE allowance in the first link, delete it from the Government.
This is not rocket surgery.
and we thought the libtards were pissed off before. They will be screaming from the rooftops. Buy Ammo
FReepers: Post to above government website to make it official. Posting to FR is good... but not sufficient.
Jim, Could this be elevated to a 3 month high prominence? This government website MUST receive the suggestions for them to be taken seriously.
FReepers: Please make specific, pragmatic, winnable suggestions. Suggestions to eliminate “everything” will not be taken seriously and will destroy credibility.
Consider: Are you eliminating a Federal program?
Or are you transferring the program, and the taxes and lobbyists for that program to the State Capitol swamp?
I suggest some should be shifted to the states. Others should be eliminated outright. They are not all the same.
This is simply OUTSTANDING!
Thanks for the ping, I totally missed this yesterday.
Another big FU! to the #neverTrump FReaks here, and also thanks especially for catherineofaragon’s mindless hatred and intolerance that personally convinced me to support #45.
Give them 5 business days, otherwise they are done.

I sent this to my wife to send to some of her friends:
Subject: This is freaking amazing...!
Love,
If this is a serious attempt, and not just for show, this is possibly the most amazing thing any President has attempted in 2 generations. It is right up there with Kennedy committing to go to the Moon (which he really had no choice but to do.)
You might want to send this link to ~~~~~~~ and a few others.
Love,
Hubby
In the meantime, this page needs some attention: The top (numbers) petition is about Trump’s taxes. Egad, what an irrelevancy, at this point.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/
Petitions regarding serious issues need to be posted and supported.
It was an incredibly bold thing to do. Donald Trump has always been know for thinking BIG.
Thanks.
and eliminate unnecessary agencies (as defined in section 551(1) of title 5, United States Code)
