BAD DOGE Act

# BAD DOGE Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The BAD DOGE Act would eliminate Executive Order 14158, which created the President's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). If passed, this executive order would be struck down and have no legal effect. The bill essentially reverses the creation of this department through congressional action rather than leaving it to presidential discretion alone. **Who it affects and key provisions:** This bill would impact the operations and structure of the executive branch, particularly any department or initiatives created under the government efficiency order. It also involves questions about presidential power and congressional oversight—specifically, Congress's ability to override or eliminate executive orders through legislation.

The bill's subjects include congressional oversight, executive agency funding, and the scope of presidential authority. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee (HR 1535, sponsored by Rep. Dave Min, D-CA-47, in the 119th Congress), meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. For the bill to become law, it would need to pass both the House and Senate and be signed by the President, or Congress would need a two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto.
