Ramaswamy Set To Tee Up a Plan To ‘Eviscerate’ the Administrative State

A businessman who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Vivek Ramaswamy, says he will lay out a “legal and constitutional basis” for shutting down federal agencies with executive power during a speech Wednesday at the America First Policy Institute at Washington, D.C.
