Trump's March 2025 executive order directed Vice President JD Vance to work with Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to appoint new citizen members to the Smithsonian Board of Regents. About 62 percent of the Smithsonian's roughly $1 billion annual budget comes from federal sources.
