President Donald Trump tightens grip on U.S. government agencies.

Order allows White House to shift budget and policies of agencies.

Critics call it an unprecedented power grab, legal scholars say it will likely be challenged for overstepping constitutional authority.

Trump has flexed his presidential muscle on issues big and small since taking office on January 20 .

Trump 's order does not challenge the independence of the Federal Reserve's control over monetary policy.

The order's reach is limited to the Fed 's financial regulations.

Analysts say the order could result in much more dramatic swings in financial regulation as future presidents exert additional control over bank oversight.
