Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency panel.

The panel will be able to implement changes without congressional approval, he says.

He says recent Supreme Court precedent and its conservative makeup would provide legal backing to the ideas he and his co-lead, Elon Musk , will put forward.

About 80% of federal work hours are currently spent in-person.

Trump has promised to bring back his Schedule F initiative that would end the merit-based civil service for untold portions of the federal workforce.

Trump has said it will issue reports along the way, with one large product due by July 4, 2026 .

Ramaswamy conceded that some parts of his plan would require congressional action and Trump would tackle those later.
