The president has theoretical Impoundment power. So yes, congress does have that power, but the president actually has the ability to not spend the money appropriated by Congress. Of course, it will go to court, and they will rule on the extent of power for impoundment, but it is certainly not unconstitutional yet. And no, she is not right for calling it out like this. He is not changing any funds, but freezing funds for audit, and will later propose bills to cut the fat on federal spending.
I don't think people like you realize that most presidents/politicians have been in favor of broad executive impoundment. This includes people like Bush, Obama, and Biden. This is nothing new, except for the scope of Trump's impoundment. But, we will see if it stands in court. It is a little premature to say it is unconstitutional.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gqorpi625bggbpqjkajmvqqc/bafkreifp6pwwzea5ciacnnv7tutq4qlqbflmtopisv3tzigx264h5jmxze@jpeg)
