Executive Power and Why DOGE Is Legitimate

Sub­mit­ted by George McClel­lan

It pleas­es us that Trump is absolute­ly dri­ving the Left crazy. The Left I’m talk­ing about isn’t just the politi­cians of the Demo­c­rat Par­ty who have wringed out every cent they could from the Amer­i­can tax­pay­ers, but the vast field of syn­co­pates whose career’s and liveli­hood’s depend upon the free dis­tri­b­u­tion, through their agen­cies, of those funds. We rejoice even more that Trump isn’t just talk­ing about drain­ing the swamp but is doing it so fast that the Left can’t keep up. DOGE is the key to return­ing the Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment back to its orig­i­nal Con­sti­tu­tion­al roots: “of the peo­ple, by the peo­ple and for the peo­ple!”

Because of DOGE we are learn­ing that much of those bil­lions of dol­lars Biden autho­rized spent through USAID, et al, are being dis­pensed not to the needs of Amer­i­cans but to the thieves, grifters and the elite polit­i­cal class who have come to believe it is their sacred duty to con­trol every­thing the Amer­i­can pub­lic needs to know about how gov­ern­ment spends their mon­ey while get­ting rich them­selves. Elon Musk and the DOGE are already “queer­ing the deal” for the Deep State class of self-impor­tant bureau­crats.

2026 midterms are just around the cor­ner and the idea that the par­ty out of pow­er usu­al­ly wins midterm elec­tions, while not nec­es­sar­i­ly so, may actu­al­ly be in dan­ger. The deep prob­ing fin­gers of DOGE is inci­den­tal­ly reveal­ing pay­offs or pay­backs to many elect­ed politi­cians, most­ly Democ­rats and RiNO’s. This may find the 2026 field wide open to Con­sti­tu­tion­al can­di­dates due to mass retire­ments. Since Trumps flood of EO’s and the imple­men­ta­tion of DOGE, hous­ing prices in DC have dropped 36%, the ris­ing mar­ket of hous­es for sale is around 15,000. Also, the Google search engine is spik­ing in the cat­e­gories of defin­ing RICO crimes, search’s for crim­i­nal defense attor­neys, queries on statutes of lim­i­ta­tions and off­shore bank accounts. If these facts are even remote­ly cor­rect, con­sti­tu­tion­al­ists may see the oppor­tu­ni­ty to flood the Con­gress in 2026, a for­ev­er change. The anguished screams of the Pro­gres­sive class fac­ing the elim­i­na­tion of their sinecures either by res­ig­na­tions or incite­men­t’s, are call­ing foul claim­ing DOGE is uncon­sti­tu­tion­al, that Musk is ben­e­fit­ing from gov­ern­ment con­tracts and that the DOGE audi­tors are just lit­tle chil­dren bare­ly out of their teens who have no busi­ness muck­ing about in their sacred files. Oh, woe! They are claim­ing Trumps DOGE plan is an abuse of Exec­u­tive Pow­er, but for them, an excuse to sup­port anoth­er attempt to impeach him. Will they nev­er learn?

With­out sound­ing like an expert it bears men­tion­ing that DOGE is not an aber­ra­tion by a mis­guid­ed pres­i­dent but is in fact, a restora­tion of exec­u­tive pow­er affirmed in a 1926 Supreme Court deci­sion: Myers vs Unit­ed States. That deci­sion is deeply embed­ded in the Constitution’s struc­ture today. The admin­is­tra­tive state, as far back as FDR, has func­tioned as an unelect­ed but unac­count­able force that under­mined the demo­c­ra­t­ic deci­sion-mak­ing process, impos­ing at the same time, an ide­o­log­i­cal agen­da with­out elec­toral legit­i­ma­cy. It was the era of the Great Depres­sion, fol­lowed by WWII, when des­per­ate Amer­i­cans were look­ing for lead­er­ship that FDR sup­plied.

How did Trump come to fig­ure out the DOGE scheme? He did­n’t, Oba­ma did! Trump sim­ply repur­posed Oba­ma’s frame­work from 2014. DOGE oper­ates under the legal foun­da­tion of 5 U.S.C. § 316 that allows the pres­i­dent to make appoint­ments out­side tra­di­tion­al civ­il ser­vice con­straints. Musk fills the bill and the young DODG tech­nocrats picked for his team are not behold­en to entrenched bureau­crat­ic com­plaints. They are autho­rized to muck about in all gov­ern­ment files regard­less of the agency head­’s com­plaints, to reveal what is appar­ent­ly easy pick­ings. That author­i­ty is nat­u­ral­ly being chal­lenged in courts as a hin­der­ance plan, until it arrives at the Supreme Court. Musks teams of young tech­nocrats are free of restraint to pro­vide real-time analy­sis of the inef­fi­cien­cies, bureau by bureau allow­ing Trump to apply cor­rec­tive mea­sures with­out being stymied by con­gres­sion­al grid­lock. They’re try­ing law­fare instead, in courts filled with Left­ist appoint­ed judges.

Agen­cies and bureaus not part of the Leg­isla­tive or Judi­cia­ry belong to the exec­u­tive. The Left see’s DODG as an over­reach. Not so! The DOGE mis­sion, by law, is to ensure the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment func­tions con­sti­tu­tion­al­ly in sup­port of pres­i­den­tial poli­cies, not oppose them. Their job is to pro­vide real-time analy­sis of those inef­fi­cien­cies that the Exec­u­tive can cor­rect, Con­gress be damned. We are wit­ness to the near col­lapse of Obama/Biden’s Pro­gres­sive admin­is­tra­tive state reveal­ing the intent of their pur­pose, hold­ing onto pow­er at all costs. We now know it was accom­plished at the expense of Amer­i­ca’s tax­pay­ers.

The hur­ri­cane that hit Flori­da, Geor­gia and espe­cial­ly west­ern North Car­oli­na hard, plus the fires that have all but destroyed the city and coun­ty of Los Ange­les, not to men­tion the rep­u­ta­tions of the LA May­or and fire chief and the idiot gov­er­nor of Cal­i­for­nia him­self, is incal­cu­la­ble. Demo­c­rat cries for help fall on deaf ears. Biden used DODG law to pro­vid­ed for  John Ker­ry to serve as Biden’s for­eign ambas­sador with­out port­fo­lio, to med­dle in Iranian/American pol­i­tics.  So, the prece­dent was set long ago, used often in the mean­time and is in use by Trump. They should get over it. The con­sti­tu­tion allows it and DOGE is sim­ply a recal­i­bra­tion of pres­i­den­tial exec­u­tive author­i­ty.  Exec­u­tive pow­er is vest­ed in one per­son, a Pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States. Noth­ing writ­ten any­where else in the Con­sti­tu­tion dilutes that pow­er even though Biden attempt­ed it.

It’s impor­tant to con­tin­ue chal­leng­ing Deep States resis­tance and get the Bureaus and Agen­cies on the right track, to rede­fine their mis­sions, cor­rect their objec­tives or make ’em redun­dant. The remain­ing ques­tions that should be asked is why did Con­gress allow this rup­ture in con­sti­tu­tion­al gov­ern­ment to hap­pen. How long has it been going on? If we lis­ten to the likes of Max­ine Waters and Alexan­dria Oca­sio Cortez among oth­ers, and focus on how  bil­lion­aires (Trump & Musk) are enrich­ing them­selves at tax­pay­er expense and believe them, then the tril­lions of dol­lars of deficits, tax­pay­er dol­lars just thrown away, will nev­er by cor­rect­ed until Amer­i­ca becomes bank­rupt. We should know how did Biden, Pelosi, even AOC and Waters among oth­ers, come to Con­gress as near pau­pers and end up mil­lion­aires them­selves?  Trump does­n’t take his pres­i­den­tial salary because he does­n’t need it. Musk isn’t get­ting a salary because he does­n’t need it either. We must know where all that mon­ey has gone that DOGE is dis­cov­er­ing isn’t there any­more. We are find­ing out. Bil­lions for con­doms for Gaza and Soma­lia, gay the­ater in Ire­land, kick backs to politi­cians, etc..  Who believes that? What is becom­ing clear is that the mon­ey give-away schemes through the USAID, FEMA, USDA, HHS and oth­ers agen­cies, and have done through NGO’s amounts to mon­ey laun­der­ing schemes  for kick­backs to the Demo­c­rat par­ty, for buy­ing con­gres­sion­al votes, for sooth­ing injured feel­ings of gov­ern­ment union offi­cials and sup­port­ing fam­i­ly finances. It’s hard liv­ing with­in the con­fines of cor­rupt gov­ern­ment demands. It is time for a change. Go Trump, Go!

Remem­ber, free­dom is the goal, the Con­sti­tu­tion is the way. Now, go help Trump. (19Feb25)
