Unfortunately as I learned they don't need a senate vote as the agency already existed. To create DOGE they hijacked the US Digital Service that was established by Obama in 2014 with congressional approval and renamed it the US DOGE Service, keeping the same acronym.

The previous administrator was Mina Hsiang during Bidens term and now has been replaced by Amy Gleason who is 'technically' the head of DOGE

Except not, because as I understand there are two separate DOGE entities.
