Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has proposed defunding federal programs that lack current congressional authorization.
This could affect programs like veterans’ healthcare, NASA, and early education initiatives, which still receive funding despite expired authorizations.
Ramaswamy argues that cutting these programs could save billions, and he’s committed to targeting expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”
DOGE, co-led by Elon Musk, aims to curb government spending, with Musk estimating potential cuts of up to $2 trillion.
Actually there are only 3 requirements to be president in thr United States. Be 35 or older, be a natural citizen of the United States, and have lived in the United States for the last 14 years. People have ran from prison in the past, and there is legally nothing stopping a person from being president while also being in prison.
