'Willing to take that risk': Republicans want Trump to have vast control over government spending

Summary

75% Informative

More than 20 Republicans have cosponsored a bill to repeal a 1974 law that requires the president to spend all of the money Congress approves.

The president would have the power to spend less money than what Congress decides.

That would bring a massive power shift from the legislative to the executive branch.

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill say it's their best hope of enacting spending cuts.

The president-elect said in a 2023 video that he "will do everything I can to challenge the Impoundment Control Act in court" Even those who've cosponsored the ICA repeal bill expressed some ambivalence about its potential implications.

For some of the Republicans who support the effort, it's merely about spending less than what's necessary.
