Dismantling the Executive Branch

President Trump's administration has been actively restructuring the executive branch to increase direct accountability to the presidency. Actions taken include significant personnel changes, such as the firing of independent inspectors general across various federal agencies, which were originally established to ensure oversight and protect against political influence post-Watergate. This effort appears to be a coordinated strategy to weaken traditional safeguards within government institutions, allowing the administration to exercise more unilateral control. The push to make the executive branch more responsive to the president is raising concerns about the long-term implications for governmental integrity and independence.
