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.

    Let the games begin.
