It only makes sense in the context of the government being designed to not do things. Congress has the power to not spend. It would appear it doesn't have the power to spend.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoYour interpretation at this point makes no sense unless you really believe that somehow the Founding Fathers (after overthrowing a king) wanted to low key-install a king anyway. Even then, these are overly cynical interpretations with no real basis to back them up outside of nitpicking singular words from centuries ago. We did a horrible job interpreting that for 250 years if true.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoIf congress has this power, how is the current executive accomplishing this?
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI'm asking myself that as well. Even if Trump is convicted, JD Vance will still run some of their not-illegal-but-still-kinda-crazy plans. Is over half of congress really just okay with a President declaring himself King? It's a bit absurd. Judicial branch is putting up a fight, though. But they are by design the slowest, most meticulate branch.
