公民力量创始人杨建利批评政府效率部并将其比作中华人民共和国文化大革命时期的中央文化革命小组（简称中央文革小组或中央文革）。他指出二者有惊人的相似性，都是掌握巨大权力的非常规机构，都打乱了既有体制并造成深远影响。二者都是绕过了常规法律框架的民粹-专制主义试验，获得了相当的公众支持并针对根深蒂固的官僚体制。[13]

The president must faithfully execute Congress’s laws and manage the executive agencies consistent with the Constitution and lawmakers’ appropriations — not by any divine right or absolute power.
