Lawmakers slam Trump's cancellation of $810 million in Congress-approved funding
Original: Lawmakers slam Trump’s move to cancel $810M in funding approved by Congress
Lawmakers are criticizing President Trump's decision to cancel roughly $810 million in funding that had already been approved by Congress. Critics describe the move as an overreach of executive authority that circumvents the legislative branch's power of the purse. The controversy has reignited debate over the limits of presidential power to withhold or rescind appropriated federal money, with members of both parties voicing concern about the implications for congressional authority.
Why now: The funding cancellation raises constitutional questions about executive power over money appropriated by Congress, prompting strong bipartisan criticism.
