Summary

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) claims that Trump’s executive orders pausing congressionally appropriated funds may violate the Impoundment Control Act (ICA) of 1974 and his constitutional duty to enforce laws.

Trump’s directives, including withholding foreign aid and federal funds for sanctuary cities, bypass Congress’s statutory authority, potentially setting a dangerous precedent.

CREW urges Congress to investigate these actions, arguing they undermine the separation of powers and the principle of checks and balances essential to democracy.

    You guys still don’t get it, do you? Laws work only if they can be enforced.

    Do you plan on arresting and judging Turd? Because unless you do, your laws mean nothing to the orange turd.

      More importantly, the Supreme Court said he can’t be prosecuted if he’s trying to do his job.

      We learned the first trump term that American democracy does not work if the ones we elect decide not to play the game. At least when enough of them decide to.
