OMB is at the very center of the problem. GAO does good work but it needs Congressional backing to be effective. It can—and does—say that DOGE, and this administration more generally, violated the law, but it has limited ability to compel testimony or publicize the way Congress can.

With the way the “unitary executive” has been going, Congress is going to need many more institutions like the GAO inside the legislative branch.
