Budget for a Second Term: How Trump’s Plan Would Reshape Agencies From DOE to EPA

Beyond dollar figures, Trump’s budget outlines a government reorganization that would:

• Move climate programs from EPA → DOE

• Fold Education Department into Labor

• Create “Department of Life” (anti-abortion programs)

Personnel Impacts:

• 15,000 federal jobs eliminated

• Political appointees double to 8,000

• Union contracts rewritten

Legal Challenges Expected:

• Chevron Doctrine changes enable rapid restructuring

• “Anti-Woke” provisions may violate civil rights laws

Historical Parallel:
The most sweeping proposed reorganization since Roosevelt’s 1939 executive branch reform.
