Russ Vought, the nominee for the White House budget chief, stirred things up during his Senate hearing. He believes the president should have the power to fire federal workers with ease. Additionally, he thinks the president should be able to use Congress' money if it benefits the president's agenda. Vought sees the government bureaucracy as packed with workers who don't listen to the president. His solution? Work with notable business leaders to reduce government spending and increase office attendance. However, not everyone is on board. Some senators are concerned that he might break the law and spend money without Congress' approval. Vought insists he just wants to follow the president's orders and streamline government jobs. He aims to ensure agencies comply with the president's directives.
