THE LATEST SOCIALIST USE OF JUDICIAL ACTION IS JUST A HOLD UP TO PREVENT BUDGET BALANCING EFFORTS TRYING STOP SPENDING VOTERS MONEY ON INFLATIONARY ISSUES...THE SCOTUS HAS ALREADY RULED ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE...SETTING THE PRECEDENT. IT IS LEGAL FOR THE PRESIDENT TO STOP INFLATIONARY SPENDING...IT HAS SCOTUS APPROVAL. IT IS CALLED IMPOUNDMENT. AS SOON AS IT IS MOVED TO SCOTUS RULING... TRUMP WILL GET HIS WAY. Another effort to give the president more flexibility in controlling how funds allocated by Congress are spent was the Line Item Veto Act of 1996. The act amended the ICA “to authorize the President to cancel in whole any dollar amount of discretionary budget authority, any item of new direct spending, or any limited tax benefit signed into law.” Such moves required certain conditions, including reducing the federal budget deficit and not impairing “essential Government functions” or causing “harm” to “the national interest.” Congress could override a spending cancellation by the president using an expedited process. President Bill Clinton used the line-item veto 82 times during its brief existence, with Congress restoring 39 appropriations. In Clinton v. City of New York, the Supreme Court struck down the line-item veto in a 6-3 decision. President Clinton had cancelled sections of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. Writing for the majority, Justice John Paul Stevens said under the Constitution’s Presentment Clause in Article I, Section 7, the president must approve or reject a bill as presented to him by Congress. LINE ITEM VETO BY A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT SET PRECEDENT TRUMP IS USING.
