Divide OMB Resource Management Offices and add political PAD leadership
Proposed
Mandate recommends splitting the six RMOs into smaller subject-matter units with more PADs and Deputy PADs so political leadership—not career staff—controls granular agency policy through the budget process.
Reimpose administrative PAYGO on agency discretionary spending and rules
Proposed
Mandate urges reintroduction of administrative pay-as-you-go requiring agencies to offset new discretionary spending or regulatory actions with savings elsewhere as a fiscal-discipline tool across the executive branch.
Use OFPP/FAR Council contracting to police corporate ‘woke’ policies

Extend OIRA review to independent agencies and revive Trump deregulatory EOs

Push CRA, REINS, and Midnight Rules Relief Act to strip agency rulemaking

Politicize NSC staffing: purge directorates and return nonessential detailees Day One

NSC ideological screen of general and flag officer promotions
Proposed
Mandate directs the NSC to rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions to prioritize warfighting over climate change, CRT, ‘manufactured extremism,’ and other polarizing policies.
Consolidate Homeland Security Council and National Cyber Director into NSC

Move all international economic policy coordination exclusively into NEC

Route CEA senior economist hiring through Presidential Personnel on White House calendar
Proposed
Mandate criticizes academic-year hiring that leaves holdover economists and recommends mid-January hiring involving the Office of Presidential Personnel so CEA staff are vetted for alignment with White House policy objectives.
Abolish Gender Policy Council (EO 14020) and install life-and-family coordinator
Proposed
Mandate calls for immediate revocation of EO 14020 and all Gender Policy Council products, ending central promotion of abortion access, comprehensive sexuality education, and gender-affirming care framing, replaced by a life-and-family Special Assistant coordinating with DPC.
Reshape USGCRP and refuse Biden-era climate assessments
Proposed
Mandate directs an EO reshaping the U.S. Global Change Research Program, forcing diverse viewpoints, OSTP/OMB contractor independence review, critical analysis/refusal of Biden USGCRP assessments, and confining climate EOP components to advisory roles while scrubbing ‘woke’ and climate initiatives from science policy.
Rewrite NEPA via CEQ, kill SCC analysis, abolish Domestic Climate Policy Office
Proposed
Mandate instructs CEQ to rewrite NEPA regulations along 2020 lines (including banning cumulative impact analysis), empower FPISC permitting, abolish the Office of Domestic Climate Policy for an energy/environment Senior Advisor, and end the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Carbon and SCC use by EO.
Empower USTR to set trade from White House and dispose of legacy advisory committees
Proposed
Mandate insists USTR be empowered to set trade policy from the White House, organize interagency committees, dispose of legacy advisory committees with special-interest members, and hold agencies accountable—rather than allowing fragmented, agency-driven trade policy.
Put political appointees over ONDCP budget and drug-control grants
Proposed
Mandate demands a political appointee lead the ONDCP budget office coordinating with OMB PADs, and political—not career/military—management of Drug-Free Communities and HIDTA grants pending eventual transfer to HHS/DOJ, to stop funding ‘woke nonprofits.’
