Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict the President's power to reorganize federal agencies and departments without getting approval from Congress first. Currently, presidents can make some changes to how government is structured on their own, but this legislation would require them to get Congress's permission before making major reorganizations. The bill aims to give lawmakers more control over how the executive branch is organized and operates.
