Russell Vought has repeatedly asserted that Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to suspend spending laws enacted by Congress. I asked Mr. Vought whether, under his theory, the President could unilaterally defund the Department of Defense, the Supreme Court, or entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

Russell Vought is wrong. 187 years before Project 2025, the Supreme Court emphatically rejected Russell Vought’s theory that a president has the constitutional authority to suspend spending laws enacted by Congress.

Russell Vought has repeatedly asserted that Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to ignore spending laws enacted by Congress. So I confronted him with a simple question: Is it seriously your position that the Founding Fathers intended to grant to a president like Donald Trump impoundment powers that the British monarch himself did not possess when the American people overthrow him 250 years ago?

When I pressed the Treasury Secretary on whether the President has the constitutional authority to fire the Fed Chair or a Fed Board Member solely because of a policy disagreement, he conspicuously refused to answer.

NEWS ALERT: Democrat Richard Blumenthal LIED in his questioning of OMB Director nominee Russ Vought when he claimed the Supreme Court had ruled in 1975 that the Impoundment Control Act (ICA) was constitutional. The Court did no such thing. In fact, the Court SPECIFICALLY wrote in Train v. New York City that “no issues as to the reach or coverage of the Impoundment Act are before us.” Why would Blumenthal lie about this and claim Russ Vought would “defy” a Supreme Court ruling that never happened?? As I have explained elsewhere, Train was confined to a specific statutory scheme at issue and did not address the President’s constitutional impoundment power—the constitutional issue was not even presented in that case. Russ Vought did a superb job in his testimony, including not backing down in his view that the President has the constitutional power to impound and that the ICA is unconstitutional. Blumenthal is flat out lying to claim that Russ’s view is in defiance of Train’s holding. The Supreme Court has NEVER ruled on the constitutionality of the ICA nor on the President’s constitutional power to impound funds. And we have 170 years of Presidents regularly using his impoundment authority to rein in wasteful or constitutionally problematic spending. Appropriations is a legislative act, the power of the purse. The spending power is an executive power and is vested in the President. Would it be constitutional for Congress to mandate that the President spend $100M to investigate and prosecute certain disfavored individuals? Of course it would not be constitutional and the President has the authority to refuse to spend those funds. Likewise, if Congress appropriated $100M to provide aid to a known terror state or international organization, the President has the constitutional authority (in fact duty) to refuse to do send those funds to this terror entity. There are limits to Congress’ authority to require the President to spend funds. The Impoundment Control Act is a terrible law. It turns history on its head by requiring a President to spend every dollar of an appropriation, even if the project can be done for less. It makes an appropriation a floor rather than a ceiling. The ICA is designed to shovel money out the door regardless of whether it’s necessary to a program, and it’s wildly irresponsible for our fiscal health.

Today, Senate Democrats will get the chance to question Russell Vought in the Budget Committee. He wants to slash so many programs that help you from Medicare, to Medicaid, to Social Security, and more. You’re going to want to tune in.

The job of Congress is to pass the law. The President's job is to enforce it. Full stop. By unilaterally nullifying border security laws, Joe Biden has threatened our Constitutional separation of powers and betrayed his oath of office.

McClain: President Biden just announced that by the stroke of his pen he's going to forgive $39 billion in student loans. This is in direct violation of the supreme court's decision. But I guess the president has no respect for the constitutional authority of the supreme court.

There is nothing magical or sacred about having nine Supreme Court justices. Congress has repeatedly expanded—and reduced—the size of the Supreme Court. Now, after abdicating war powers, spending powers, tariff power and the power to control federal structures and buildings like the White House and the Reflecting Pool, this MAGA-controlled Congress wants to relinquish yet another essential constitutional power that goes back to the Founding—the power to fix the size of the Supreme Court. I argued and voted ‘NO.’

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson says Chuck Schumer "HANDED THE PEN" to OMB Director Russ Vought - and now the damage against the bureaucracy will be on the LEFT. "Russ Vought has been given this authority by CHUCK SCHUMER. Schumer led the Democrats to hand that pen to Russ Vought, and there could be some good that comes of it!" "Russ is the expert...we've always wanted to limit the size and scope of government." "Russ has to do what anybody in his position would do - look at the balance sheet, figure out how to make the dollars go to the services, positions and policies that are essential, versus those that are not." "He's gonna say, which of these make sense? Which follow the policy priorities of President Trump?" KEEP CUTTING, RUSS VOUGHT!

Absolute meltdown of Trump on Truth Social. Donald Trump openly confesses he expects the Supreme Court to act as his obedient cartel, crying that Justices he appointed lack blind loyalty and threatening to pack the court himself. The US President is completely unhinged.
