Explainer-Trump's spending pause and its legality


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ner-trump-s-spending-pause-and-its-legality.html
Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, January 28th 2025 at 18:20 GMT by MSN   Print publication without navigation

  • U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Monday issued a sweeping directive to federal agencies to temporarily pause billions of dollars of spending on health care, housing assistance and disaster relief.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal for a "spending pause" if he were to return to office, which involves halting federal spending on programs he deems unnecessary or wasteful. This idea, part of his broader "Project 2025," aims to reduce the federal deficit by cutting what Trump considers "woke" or inefficient spending. Legal experts, however, question the constitutionality of such a move. The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power of the purse, meaning only Congress can authorize or halt federal spending. Implementing a spending pause without Congressional approval could be seen as an overreach of executive power, potentially violating the separation of powers. Critics argue that this could lead to legal challenges, with courts likely to scrutinize the legality of bypassing Congress. Furthermore, the article notes that while Trump could direct agencies to reevaluate their spending, actually stopping funds without legislative backing would be legally contentious.
