> These are powers the Presidency already had.

Then what, in your mind, is the purpose of this EO?

To serve notice to the FCC, FTC, SEC, and CFTC that Trump intends to override their internal legal interpretations.

  • But that ... is a power grab...

    • No, the President already has that power. The norm of the previous institutions was, largely, to let the agencies do their thing. This administration is not going to do that.

      This was a live question in Trump's last administration, but I don't think it is anymore after cases like Lucia?
