Russell Vought faced questions at his confirmation hearing over his tenure as director of the Office and Management and Budget during Trump 's first term.

He stressed that he would follow the law, even as he emphasized Trump ’s desire to overturn the 1974 Impoundment Control Act that requires congressional approval to rescind spending.

Vought did preview possible budget proposals by suggesting that spending cuts would be necessary to address persistent budget deficits.
