Establishing and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency"
Creates the organizational framework for DOGE within the Executive Office of the President. Directs each agency to establish a DOGE team and provide access to agency records, IT systems, and financial data. This is the foundational order; subsequent orders (EO 14210, 14219, 14222) implement specific DOGE-driven initiatives.
