The Constitutional Question of Executive Power

The episode delves into the ongoing constitutional debate regarding the powers of the executive branch and its relationship with the federal bureaucracy. A central issue is whether the executive branch has the authority to determine funding allocations, as highlighted by ongoing discussions surrounding Dogecoin. Critics, including politicians like Ilhan Omar and Chris Murphy, argue that such authority risks undermining democratic processes and transferring power to an unelected technocratic elite. This raises questions about who truly holds sovereignty and whether there exists an imbalance between the branches of government, challenging the notion of equal power among them.
