Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pledged again to “re-Constitutionalize” the federal government in an interview with Hugh Hewitt.
Said DeSantis: “Our founders created three branches of government. They did not create a fourth branch, an administrative state that is unaccountable to the electorate. And yet, that’s what’s developed over many, many decades. A lot of the most important policies that are decided, what kind of car you can drive, what kind of energy you can use, are decided not even by your elected representatives, but by nameless, faceless bureaucrats in the bowels of Washington, D.C. So we are going to be revoking all of those Biden policies through the bureaucracy.”
He added: “And that means, of course, a new director of the FBI, cleaning house in all those agencies, and using the full scope of Article II power to bring the bureaucracy to heel. I don’t buy this idea that the president cannot remove a ‘career’ person. When they’re abusing power, and they’re going outside of what is appropriate, they absolutely should be terminated, and terminated swiftly. So we’re going to be doing that. I think we’re going to do it in a big way.”
