Reining in the Bureaucracy: How Trump’s Executive Order Challenges the Administrative State

American Potential

For years, unelected bureaucrats have stretched vague laws to impose regulations that Congress never explicitly approved. But with a new executive order, President Trump is taking steps to rein in the administrative state and ensure that federal agencies stay within their constitutional limits.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From speaks with Ryan Mulvey, Policy Counsel for Americans for Prosperity Foundation, to break down what this executive order means, how it builds on key Supreme Court doctrines, and what impact it could have on federal regulations, agency overreach, and the economy. They discuss:

✅ The Major Questions Doctrine and why it limits bureaucratic power
✅ How the Chevron Doctrine’s demise shifts power back to judges and Congress
✅ The role of Congress in making these changes permanent
✅ What this could mean for business owners, taxpayers, and individual freedoms

Could this executive order mark a turning point in restoring constitutional balance and limiting government overreach? Tune in for an in-depth conversation on the fight to restore accountability in Washington.
