Trump Executive Order Tracker

The Director of the OMB Director shall submit a plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government, requiring that agencies may hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart. Agency heads must adhere to the Federal Hiring Plan outlined in the Executive Order on Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service. Agency heads must also consult the agency's DOGE team lead for new hires and begin reductions-in-force (RIFs) prioritizing non-essential functions and DEI programs. Within 30 days, OPM must issue new rulemaking to revise federal hiring suitability criteria and agency heads must submit reorganization plans to OMB. Within 240 days, the United States DOGE Service (USDS) Administrator must submit a report to the President on this order. Monthly, DOGE team leads must submit hiring reports. 

This order directs agency heads along with their DOGE team lead to build a centralized system within each agency to record every payment issued by the agency pursuant to contracts and grants, as well as a system that documents approval for federally funded travel for conferences or other non-essential travel. 

Commences a reduction in the elements of the Federal bureaucracy that the President has determined are unnecessary. The non-statutory components and functions of several governmental entities shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law. 

It shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch. Additionally, all executive departments and agencies, including independent agencies, are required to submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register. 

Directs agency heads, in coordination with their Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team lead and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director, to initiate a process to review all agency regulations and rescind those deemed unconstitutional, unlawful, or overly burdensome (including on private parties and small businesses). Focuses on rules lacking clear statutory authority, imposing considerable costs, or hindering innovation and economic development. Grants agency heads discretion to terminate enforcement proceedings that agency heads believe do not comply with the law or Administration policy. Requires the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and DOGE team leads to assess new regulations, with OIRA developing a unified regulatory agenda to rescind or modify identified rules, and mandates agency heads to submit a list of such regulations within 60 days to the OIRA Administrator.

Requires all officers or employees charged with implementing the foreign policy of the United States to do so under the direction and authority of the President. Failure to faithfully implement the President’s policy is grounds for professional discipline, including separation. The Secretary of State will reform the Foreign Service and administration of foreign relations to be faithful to the President’s agenda.

Directs the heads of executive departments and agencies to review all funding provided to NGOs and align future funding decisions with the interests of the United States and the goals of the Trump-Vance administration. 

Makes it the policy of the executive branch that collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) reached in the 30 days prior to the inauguration of an incoming president shall not be approved. Instructs agency heads to disapprove currently pending CBAs, with the exception of agreements with law enforcement officers. Prohibits agencies from signing CBAs that: (i) contain contractual obligations; (ii) make substantive changes to existing agreements; or (iii) extend the duration of an existing agreement in the 30 days prior to a change in administration. 

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.
