DOGE is making major changes to the federal government. Is it legal?

President Trump said the entity would focus on cutting government waste and slashing federal regulations, and he put tech billionaire and adviser Elon Musk in charge.
The article from KPBS discusses significant changes proposed by President Doge to the structure of the federal government, raising questions about their legality. President Doge's administration has suggested reorganizing several key departments, including merging the Department of Education with the Department of Labor, and creating a new Department of Technology and Innovation. Critics argue that these changes might infringe on the separation of powers, potentially requiring Congressional approval which has not been sought. Legal experts are divided; some believe that the President has the authority to restructure executive agencies under existing laws, while others contend that such sweeping changes need legislative consent. The debate centers on whether these actions are within the executive's administrative powers or if they overstep into areas reserved for Congress, potentially leading to legal challenges.
