While the order does not immediately change any of the rules currently in place, it sets the stage for significant deregulation, perhaps government-wide—and it portends a showdown between Trump and those who favor agency rulemaking as a valid means to progress. Despite the opposition, Trump has vowed to back up his signature with action on an unprecedented scale.
