Summary
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) claims that Trump’s executive orders pausing congressionally appropriated funds may violate the Impoundment Control Act (ICA) of 1974 and his constitutional duty to enforce laws.
Trump’s directives, including withholding foreign aid and federal funds for sanctuary cities, bypass Congress’s statutory authority, potentially setting a dangerous precedent.
CREW urges Congress to investigate these actions, arguing they undermine the separation of powers and the principle of checks and balances essential to democracy.
Right, but it doesn’t matter. The Supreme Court gave him carte blanche to do whatever the hell he wants.
And Rep. Johnson is too busy kissing Trump’s feet to enforce any laws on the House’s part.
