Trump's Fight to Take Control of Spending From Congress

Follow The Big Take DC podcast today. Trump says the president should be able to decide how to spend taxpayer money - not Congress. Part of his plan? Impoundment: A controversial maneuver that could wrest control of trillions of dollars in federal spending away from Congress.
The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's efforts to influence federal spending by advocating for a policy that would allow the president to impound funds, a power that was significantly curtailed by Congress in 1974. Trump, along with allies like Russ Vought, a former Trump administration official, has been pushing for this change to be included in the 2024 Republican Party platform. This move would essentially give the president the authority to withhold funds allocated by Congress, a practice that was common under Presidents Nixon and Reagan but was later restricted due to concerns over executive overreach. The proposal has sparked debate over the separation of powers, with critics arguing it undermines Congress's constitutional authority over the purse strings. Trump's push is part of a broader strategy to reshape the executive's role in fiscal policy, aiming to reduce what he and his supporters view as excessive and wasteful government spending.
