Many center on cutting spending for foreign aid agencies and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and contributions to international organizations. House leadership plans a vote on the rescissions bill next week on clawing back those federal funds.<\/p>\n<p>The rescissions process is not the only step the House can take to cement the spending cuts. Lawmakers such as Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) have long called on House leadership to prioritize holding votes to cement Trump&rsquo;s executive orders. Since taking office on Jan. 20, the president has signed over 150 executive orders, many of which have been scrutinized as undermining congressional authority.<\/p>\n<p>Burchett introduced legislation on Tuesday that would codify three of Trump&rsquo;s executive orders: one to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ernst-wuhan-affiliated-group-broke-federal-law-moments-after-biden-admin-resumed-federal-funding\/\" title=\"Wuhan-linked group violated federal law after Biden resumed funding.\">end taxpayer funding<\/a> for NPR and PBS (a proposed DOGE cut); one providing regulatory relief to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-slashes-rates-and-suspends-data-on-youth-unemployment-as-troubles-mount\/\" title=\"China ... rates and halts youth unemployment data amid mounting troubles.\">promote domestic production<\/a> of medicine; and one improving the safety of biological research.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will not sit on the sidelines when it comes to implementing the President&rsquo;s agenda,&rdquo; Burchett said in a statement. &ldquo;I am taking charge to implement the mandate we have from the American people.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Burchett has been adamant that House GOP leadership move faster on executive orders. When Trump joined House Republicans&rsquo; weekly conference meeting on May 20 during the reconciliation battle, Burchett stood up and told Trump they needed to &ldquo;get off our ass and start working&rdquo; and that he wished the president would &ldquo;tell everyone how important it is to codify your executive orders,&rdquo; according to sources in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to codify the DOGE cuts is through the fiscal 2026 appropriations process. Freedom Caucus members led by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) <a href=\"https:\/\/clayhiggins.house.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FY26-HFC-Toplines-Letter-5.16.25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">sent a letter<\/a> to the House Appropriations Committee requesting that the 2026 bills be written in line with Trump&rsquo;s goal of fighting &ldquo;waste, fraud, and abuse.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump and his Administration have led the fight against waste, fraud, and abuse in federal government programs,&rdquo; the lawmakers said, adding that DOGE uncovered some of the &ldquo;worst abuses against American taxpayers,&rdquo; noting USAID in particular.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Appropriations process provides Congress with an opportunity to demonstrate our shared commitment to fighting waste, fraud, and abuse by codifying DOGE cuts and embracing the America First agenda,&rdquo; they added.<\/p>\n<p>The rescissions bill will likely be House Republican leadership&rsquo;s top priority, particularly as the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >rules surrounding rescissions install<\/a> a deadline of 45 consecutive days for Congress to pass the bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3430176\/house-honors-gerry-connolly-passing-cancer-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HOUSE HONORS GERRY CONNOLLY BY PASSING CANCER BILL IN HIS HONOR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The House is aiming to vote on the rescissions bill next week, just after Musk left his White House role to return to his private businesses.
