💨 Abstract

The Trump administration has issued a directive to temporarily halt billions in spending on health care, housing assistance, and disaster relief. The legality of this directive is being questioned, with legal experts suggesting it may violate the Constitution's "power of the purse" given to Congress. The Impoundment Control Act, which created a process for Congress to review withheld funds, could also potentially apply.
