The GAO has no authority to stop Trump’s agenda

Government watchdog weaponized against Donald Trump

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that serves as a government watchdog for Congress. GAO officials are supposed to audit and evaluate the federal government to ensure it runs efficiently.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) warned that the GAO is another part of the “Deep State resistance” waging war on President Donald Trump’s agenda.

The GAO waded into a debate over Senate procedure to prevent Congress from overturning California’s ban on the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

Using the Congressional Review Act, Congress can overturn the waiver that the Biden Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave California to ban gas-powered cars with a simple majority in the House and Senate, avoiding a Senate filibuster by Democrats.

The GAO, which is still run by an appointee of former President Barack Obama, falsely claimed that the Biden EPA’s waiver wasn’t a rule subject to the Congressional Review Act.
