It is contrary to the foundational document of our country. The president does not have that authority because he is a president, not a king.

  Nope, the president has the power over federal agencies. You might argue this wouldn't be something he could do if he didn't specifically campaign on this issue, which is usually where the line is drawn. But the fact that he DID campaign on this, and that the president DOES have the power to such a thing, means he can and has every right to.

    Again, Congress has the power to allocate spending. If you think the president, or Elon Musk, has absolute power over the entire federal government, then, well, there’s a word for that. You think he’s a dictator.

      Congress has the power to create spending, the president has the power to stop spending.

        By law, he has no such power. Congress has made impoundment illegal.
