Several House Republicans want Congress to relinquish control over the budget process to the incoming president after he takes office in January .

Some conservatives say the Impoundment Control Act gives the president broad latitude to determine whether the funds are spent at all.

The GOP seems to exist for little more than stroking Trump ’s ego and lining his pockets.
