==Background==
Within hours of taking office on 20 January, 2025 [[President Donald Trump]] signed an [[executive order]] changing the United States Digital Service (USDS) created in 2014 by [[Barack Obama]] to the United States DOGE Service (USDS).<ref>With the massive failure of the [[Obamacare]] website when it was launched in 2014, President Barack Obama created the United States Digital Service (USDS) tasked with improving the technological abilities of all federal agencies. In 2025 the [[United States Department of Justice]] revealed in a court filing: "Since its creation in 2014 by President Obama, the United States Digital Service ("USDS") has worked with agencies across the [[Executive Branch]] to, among other things, improve the federal government’s information technology and data organization systems...That mandate was recently revived through an Executive Order issued by President Trump, which redesignated USDS as the U.S. DOGE Service".
