Trump accused of ignoring Congress' power of the purse
Original: It’s Congress’ job to appropriate but Trump doesn’t care
A new editorial argues that President Trump is disregarding Congress' constitutional authority to appropriate federal spending. The piece says the administration is acting as if the legislature's control over the budget does not matter, bypassing a core check and balance. The claim has drawn attention in ongoing debates over executive power and spending decisions made without legislative approval.
Why now: Debates over Trump's spending actions and the limits of executive power are active in US politics right now.
