Under the State Department, it is a good idea to strengthen USAID. And limiting government spending is perfectly meaningful. But why will the Congress not make sure that President Trump follows the law?
Elon Musk protests outside USAID offices after pledging to close the agency
Protesters gathered outside the USAID building in Washington DC after Donald Trump and Elon Musk pledged to close the agency.
This week, President Donald Trump announced the US Agency for International Development and its necessary work in the State Department.
In recent years, the independent agency has lost its way, providing some foreign projects that the conservative is seeking to highlight its shutdown. However, the agency’s main target is Increase American global influence through aid actions.
By ignoring the qualities of action completely, the most interesting question from this process is, is any of these legal? Not at all.
Trump wants to ignore the Congress once again. Will they let him go?
Was formed by USAID Executive Order In 1961, but it has been presented as an agency by Congress through various legislative measures. Foreign Affairs reforms and Organization Act 1998 Established USAID as an independent agency.
The President cannot eliminate the Congress operations through the Executive Order and will have to spend the funds allocated for specific purposes.
However, what has been made by the executive order can be eliminated by the executive order. Since USAID was formed by the Executive Order, President Donald Trump argues that he has the authority to strengthen the agency in the Foreign Department without the approval of the Congress.
Even more problems arise when it comes to USAID funding, which the Congress has already allocated. The agency manages more than that BILLIONWhich Trump is obliged to spend for the purpose that the Congress has nominated him.
The question is, what happens to the designated funds for programs that are no longer working? Logically, the consequence of this is that the State Department now handles the costs of these funds for its desired purposes.
The Congress may object to how these funds are being used, which will promote completely different fighting on the use of funds.
The fact is that as long as these battles are resolved, the agency is likely to be fully disabled due to shuttering and shuttering, which will be a logistical dream for backup. Regardless of the legal status, Trump and Elon can achieve their way, regardless of the consequences of the challenges.
Will Trump end more departments without Congress?
Legal experts have presented the theory that the move could be a move What can the Trump administration go away from. Without the opposition, the administration is trying to work here more basic agencies, such as the Department of Education.
However, if the Congress is not ready to emphasize its authority here, Trump and his administration may be encouraged to take further action to eliminate the executive bureaucracy, regardless of the law.
In fact, Trump is with Acknowledged that he would need Congress assistance An important purpose of their administration to abolish the education department, the administration’s elimination of the federal government. Despite his desire, the chances of being done are nothing short of. Republicans will need the flabbs -proof majority to bring about such a change.
However, he can use similar strategies here, in which he harasses critical functions at the point that it is impossible for agencies to work, regardless of the final results of the legal challenges.
Before, the Congress is with Granted the authority to the presidency Organizing the Executive Branch for a particular time frame. The authority was recently granted To President Ronald Reagan for two monthsBut since then it has not been authorized to any president. If Trump wanted to unilaterally change the executive landscape, it would need such a delegation.
In this case, Congress members have to challenge Trump’s actions and in fact must do their job. They should not only allow Trump to claim the authority that he belongs to. The Congress should work with Trump to overcome the bureaucracy and should not be idealistic as its voices.
Even the actions of the good acts should go through the correct action. This includes the Congress.
For me, for one, I am glad that someone is finally addressing the ridiculous expenses that have fallen victim to our country, and I have been relieved that there is a strong pressure to eliminate the garbage in our federal government.
However, good steps need to be followed in a proper action or they leave the risk of challenging themselves, such as Trump’s claim that he does not need Congress in this matter.
Under the Department of State, USAID’s stability can be a good thing – that is, in fact, I think a good idea. However, this action needs to go through the Congress, and the Congress needs to ensure that Trump and Kasturi do not occupy their authority.
Instead, the potential result is that Trump is benefiting from a Congress that has no intention of acting. Eliminating the proper action of our government is a dangerous road and it seems that Trump and the capacity are likely to be examined.
