So I think it's a super fair question of fields of doubt over the couple of months. The question is, it's one thing if you are undoing the actions of people who have actually affirmatively made rules versus making new rules of your own.

It's another to say there are 4 million, many of whom were hired without that authorization. We need to scale that headcount back.

then it's one thing to say, okay, then all of that, in order to comply with the Constitution, has to be rolled back. You can't make it without authorization.
