We have seen the executive branch cut funding for life saving medication (putting untold lives at risk) and fire inspectors general without authorization from the legislative branch. What makes you believe the executive branch will suddenly defer spending authority to the legislative branch?
- ok_dad 2y agoNo kidding, this guy is so over the place! He says the executive has no say over the budget, but also later he says it’s okay for the executive to “audit” the approved and passed budget without legislative approval and cut spending. That’s called impoundment, it’s been illegal since the 1800s.
- Dalewyn 2y agoThe House holds the power of the purse, but the President is the sole holder of Executive powers. That is to say, Congress legislates the budget but the actual execution of that budget is up to the President. If Congress feels the President isn't executing the budget as legislated, Congress can impeach the President. As for the judiciary, SCOTUS already ruled that the President enjoys absolute immunity in the course of executing his Constitutional duties. So far the House "applauds"[1] DOGE, so all is well.

- ok_dad 2y agoAh, so you’re just in favor of your guy getting to be the monarch. I see. No morals, you are just one of those people that bends or breaks the law when you think it’s beneficial to your side. You people disgust me.
