Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This bill repeals Executive Order 14158, which established the President’s Department of Government Efficiency (referred to in the bill as DOGE) and the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization. The bill’s findings allege that the DOGE entities exceeded their authority, engaged in unauthorized operational control, and that a private individual (named in findings) led or influenced those actions.
Whether actions amounted to illegal overreach versus managerial reform
Substantively narrow bills reversing a specific EO can clear a partisan House majority but are politically charged and may draw opposition.
This bill repeals Executive Order 14158, which established the President’s Department of Government Efficiency (referred to in the bill as DOGE) and the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization.
The bill’s findings allege that the DOGE entities exceeded their authority, engaged in unauthorized operational control, and that a private individual (named in findings) led or influenced those actions.
The sole operative section declares that Executive Order 14158 shall have no force or effect.
Narrow statutory repeal with high political salience and no compromise features faces strong Senate barriers and likely executive pushback.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Whether actions amounted to illegal overreach versus managerial reform
Likely broadly supportive because the bill rescinds an executive structure the text portrays as bypassing legal safeguards and federal accountability.
Supporters will emphasize restoring separation of powers, protecting employee data and civil service rules, and reversing privatized control of agency operations.
They may still want stronger oversight, investigations, and protections for affected employees.
Centrists will view the bill as a reasonable corrective if the findings are accurate, but will be cautious about scrapping a government modernization effort wholesale.
They will want clear factual evidence, targeted remedies, and preservation of legitimate IT improvement work.
Pragmatic centrists seek a balanced approach: oversight and accountability, but not needless disruption of critical infrastructure.
Mainstream conservatives will likely be skeptical of the bill as partisan overreach that cancels an executive modernization initiative.
They will emphasize the president’s managerial authority, the value of efficiency reforms, and worry about Congress overturning executive actions for political reasons.
Some may still support oversight if clear statutory or constitutional violations are proven.
