Power Dynamics and the Impoundment Control Act
This chapter explores the Impoundment Control Act and its implications for presidential powers in managing federal funds, particularly in the wake of Nixon's presidency. It critiques the current adherence to the act and raises concerns about executive overreach, legislative authority, and separation of powers, especially in light of actions taken during the Trump administration. The speakers emphasize the need for a balanced constitutional process to ensure the rule of law amidst rising tensions between the executive and legislative branches.
