Donald Trump's proposed 2025 plan, known as Project 2025, outlines a comprehensive andradical restructuring of the U.S. federal government, aimed at consolidating executive powerand promoting conservative policies. This initiative,spearheaded by the HeritageFoundation, seeks to address what its proponents view as inefficiencies and liberal biaseswithin the federal bureaucracy, setting the stage for sweeping changes should Trump win the2024 presidential election.Central to Project 2025 is the concept of the unitary executive theory, which asserts that thepresident should have extensive control over the entire executive branch.
