EO raises concerns about the independence of legal interpretations within executive agencies and the potential for increased political influence over legal proceedings; and mandates that all executive-branch personnel—including staff at independent agencies like the FEC—must defer to the legal interpretations of the President or Attorney General and prohibits staff from interpreting laws independently. The EO also requires independent agencies to submit significant rules for White House review and creates White House liaisons in those agencies. Extends presidential oversight to independent regulatory agencies.
