Weird when you didn't care about Joe Biden changing money Congress appropriated and spending it on other "priorities".jerrab » Today, 4:44 am » wrote: ↑ https://coloradonewsline.com/2025/01/28 ... -payments/
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution gives Congress the so-called “power of the purse” by granting it the authority to approve federal spending. Congress has passed several laws regarding that constitutional authority, including the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, which says that the president cannot simply refuse to spend money Congress has appropriated.Trump’s pick for OMB Director, Russ Vought, has repeatedly called that law unconstitutional and said he believes the president does have the authority to simply ignore sections of spending law that have been passed by Congress and signed into law.----------------really? jerra-----The Senate has yet to confirm Vought to the role of White House budget director, but is likely to do so in the weeks ahead.
You must be a liberal hypocrite.
Unless the legislation says the money MUST be spent, it doesn't have to be spent.
