The Next POTUS Should Reclaim The Constitutional Spending Power Congress Stole

In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress has unconstitutionally delegated its spending power to the executive branch. This ruling has wide-ranging implications for the future of American government, potentially giving the next president a powerful tool to rein in out-of-control spending.
For decades, Congress has been passing laws that authorize the executive branch to spend money without specific appropriations. This has led to a massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government, as well as a growing national debt.
The Supreme Court's ruling is a major victory for those who have been arguing that Congress must exercise its constitutional authority over spending. It is also a significant setback for the executive branch, which has been using its power to spend money to expand its own authority.
The next president will have a unique opportunity to use the Supreme Court's ruling to reclaim the spending power that Congress has stolen. By doing so, the president could significantly reduce the size and scope of the federal government, as well as the national debt.
The Supreme Court's ruling is a reminder that the Constitution is a living document that must be interpreted in light of changing circumstances. It is also a reminder that the separation of powers is essential to the preservation of liberty.
