Legal Battles and Executive Power
This chapter explores the legal challenges surrounding the federal funding freeze imposed by the administration and a temporary injunction that allows spending to continue while a court assesses the situation. It reflects on the implications of the Impoundment Control Act, the potential for a constitutional crisis due to executive overreach, and the strategies Congress could employ to respond. Additionally, the conversation examines the significance of the Office of Management and Budget and the risks associated with the appointment of an extreme conservative to its leadership.
