Trump Launches New Attack on Congress's Spending Power
Original: Trump Launches New Attack on Congress’s Spending Power
Donald Trump has opened a new front in his challenge to Congress's constitutional authority over federal spending, according to The Fiscal Times. The move targets the legislature's power of the purse, a core feature of the US system of checks and balances. Critics are likely to view it as an effort to expand executive power, while supporters may see it as a push to curb wasteful expenditure.
Why now: Any attempt by a president to challenge Congress's spending authority raises immediate concerns about constitutional separation of powers.
