FEATURING COREY BRETTSCHNEIDER - The President of the United States has no authority to freeze funds allocated by Congress. Yet Donald Trump has done just that.
He has also begun rolling back Congressionally mandated government agencies such as the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, USAID, and even the Department of Education.
He has created an entire agency–the Department of Government Efficiency–out of thin air, something Presidents have no authority to do, and empowered it with wide ranging authority to dig into the public’s private data and slash whole sections of the federal government workforce.
None of this is surprising–Trump is doing what he said he would–undermining the U.S. Constitution to expand his own power. The question is, what recourse is there? And is it too late to save U.S. democracy?
