Trump bypasses Congress to cut nearly $1 billion in spending
President Trump has moved to cut nearly $1 billion in federal spending without seeking approval from Congress, a step that bypasses the legislature's constitutional power of the purse. The move is drawing attention over its legality and its implications for congressional authority over the federal budget, with debate expected over whether the White House can unilaterally withhold funds already appropriated.
Why now: The unilateral cuts raise constitutional questions about presidential power over funds Congress has already approved.
