A former member of the Director of Action and Politics at the Republican Chamber of Representatives, Vought, 48, will take place exactly where he interrupted Trump as the head of the budget during the first administration.
When Trump announced the nomination of Vought in November, he praised him for “excellent work in this role in my first term – we limited four recipes for each new recipe and it was a great success!”
“Russ knows how to dismantle the deep state and put an end to the government, and will help us return our own people’s management. We will restore fiscal reason for our nation and release the American people to a new level of prosperity and ingenuity, “added Trump in truth.
Vought, which was confirmed according to party, caused indignation among democrats during the confirmation process.
The main problem of Vought confirmation was his role in Trump’s first administration in development “Schedule F” A novel classification for federal employees, which made them more directly responsible before the president and deprived them of protection against the solution.
The dissertation of the confirmation of Vought on January 15 was tense Senator Gary Peters, D-micch., Telling him: “I am deeply concerned about the next action that you pressed during my stay in OMB to replace almost 50,000 impartial civil service officials among which the only qualification is that they are politically loyal-they are not so competent , not that they follow the law. “
Democrats also criticized Vought for supporting federal funds, the concepts that the president does not have to spend all the money appropriated by the Congress.
These problems reached a boiling point after Trump froze federal funds, and the entrepreneur Elon Musk worked on reducing federal agencies such as United States International Development Agency.
The Democrats Senate organized a protest to delay its confirmation, taking the floor for 30 hours to criticize the nominee, whom they consider to be the “architect” of ambitious plans to restructure the federal government.
