Eric Darnley Small<p>The Trump administration is testing a 1974 budget law by withholding congressionally mandated funds, potentially altering the balance of power between Congress and the White House. The administration claims the law limits presidential power unconstitutionally and may seek court rulings to overturn it. Despite denials, agency officials report slowed or stopped fund disbursements, raising legal concerns. With impending deadlines, the administration plans to defer funds across 200 accounts. This has stalled scientific research and contracts, with health funding particularly affected. The GAO has flagged potential violations, but its enforcement ability is threatened by proposed budget cuts. The situation underscores ongoing tensions between executive authority and legislative spending control. <br><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/06/25/trump-budget-law-challenge/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/business/20</span><span class="invisible">25/06/25/trump-budget-law-challenge/</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/TrumpAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpAdministration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/BudgetLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BudgetLaw</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/FederalSpending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FederalSpending</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Congress</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/WhiteHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteHouse</span></a></p>
