Amy Gleason has been appointed as the acting leader of DOGE, taking over a role initially overseen by Elon Musk, who is considered more of a senior adviser than an official administrator.
Gleason's appointment reflects attempts to implement significant budget cuts, including staffing reductions at various federal agencies, which some officials have criticized as harmful to public services.
Despite the push for efficiency, some legal experts express concerns over the constitutionality of DOGE's authority, arguing it lacks clear legislative grounding and may violate separation of powers.
