White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller outlines the Trump administration's approach to reforming the federal government, arguing that career bureaucrats are accountable to the Constitution, the President, and the American people.

Speaking at CPAC, Miller discusses executive authority, the role of the federal civil service, and the administration's efforts to reshape federal agencies through executive orders and personnel changes. He argues that elected leadership—not unelected bureaucracies—should direct the executive branch and explains why he believes greater accountability is essential to effective government.
