The executive order included fresh details about DOGE&#8217;s goals and structure, such as a mandate to upgrade the government&#8217;s IT systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump first <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-department-of-government-efficiency-doge-elon-musk-ramaswamy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">announced DOGE<\/a><\/span> in November with a statement that said the effort would &#8220;provide advice and guidance from outside of Government.&#8221; The goal, he added in November, would be to provide recommendations to &#8220;slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in a November Wall Street Journal opinion article that they <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/musk-ramaswamy-doge-500-billion-spending-where-they-will-cut\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">aimed to cut $500 billion<\/a><\/span> in annual federal costs by targeting &#8220;expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Mr. Trump&#8217;s executive order says that DOGE will in fact be housed within the executive branch, rather than operating as an outside advisory committee. The EO also states that an existing White House office called the U.S. Digital Service \u2014 a unit that primarily works on improving government websites and tech \u2014 will be renamed the U.S. DOGE Service.<\/p>\n<p>DOGE&#8217;s purpose will be to &#8220;implement the President&#8217;s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity,&#8221; the EO states.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The executive order doesn&#8217;t include any details about cutting federal spending, slashing regulations or restructuring federal agencies. To be sure, the lack of a mention in the EO about cost-cutting doesn&#8217;t mean that DOGE won&#8217;t also tackle those issues, as well as taking on a mandate to upgrade federal IT systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>DOGE lawsuits<\/h2>\n<p>The EO comes as DOGE faces <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-doge-lawsuit-january-20-trump-inauguration\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">multiple lawsuits<\/a><\/span>\u00a0over its structure and efforts so far, with the cases filed shortly after Mr. Trump&#8217;s inauguration on Monday. The lawsuits claim that because DOGE was operating as a federal advisory committee, it was in violation of a law called the Federal Advisory Committee Act, or FACA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>FACA regulates the functions and transparency of federal advisory committees, requiring them to operate transparently and publicly, as well as include representation from people who could be affected by their operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But with Mr. Trump&#8217;s EO establishing DOGE as a unit within the executive branch, it appears that the effort will not be operating as a federal advisory committee. Democracy Forward, which is representing some of the groups suing DOGE, said the executive order doesn&#8217;t alter their plans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our legal team is reviewing yesterday&#8217;s executive orders. DOGE has been operating secretly and out of compliance with federal law for some time, which yesterday&#8217;s executive orders could not impact,&#8221; Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>And National Security Counselors, another public service group that is suing DOGE, said that it doesn&#8217;t &#8220;have any reason to believe that the entity created by the recent executive order is the same animal as the advisory committee we are litigating about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The executive order has definitely muddied the waters a bit, but at the end of the day, the deciding factor will be what the new U.S. DOGE Service actually does and how,&#8221; said Kel McClanahan, executive director of National Security Counselors, said on Tuesday. &#8220;It is difficult to imagine the sprawling DOGE written about by Musk and Ramaswamy slamming on its brakes and taking a job modernizing agency IT systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Ramaswamy leaving DOGE<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, DOGE is losing one of its co-leaders, with Ramaswamy <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VivekGRamaswamy\/status\/1881482161565618648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posting<\/a> on social media on Jan. 20 that he is stepping back from the effort. Ramaswamy intends to announce a campaign for Ohio governor as soon as the end of January, CBS News has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/vivek-ramaswamy-expected-to-depart-doge\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">reported<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was my honor to help support the creation of DOGE. I&#8217;m confident that Elon &amp; team will succeed in streamlining government,&#8221; Ramaswamy wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr. Trump&#8217;s EO, DOGE will be a &#8220;temporary organization&#8221; that will focus on &#8220;advancing the President&#8217;s 18-month DOGE agenda.&#8221; The EO says that DOGE will come to an end on July 4, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Trump said DOGE will have about &#8220;about 20 people&#8221; working in its office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Digital Service, the unit currently has about 230 employees, with recent work by the unit including assisting the IRS on its new Direct File service, as well as improving the Social Security Administration&#8217;s website.
