President Donald Trump is pushing hard on deregulation and has recently ordered his team to rebuild the government from scratch to eliminate inefficiencies that affect economic growth.
Since taking office in January, Trump has purged over a dozen government regulations by using the Congressional Review Act, which enables Congress to pass legislation repealing regulations finalized in the last 60 legislative days.
It is a major accomplishment within the president’s first 100 days, said Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), at a White House briefing.
More repeals may be forthcoming before the 60-day window ends on April 28.
The executive branch of government has never been rebuilt. It has grown organically over the course of the last 240 years.
