A president, invoking broad emergency powers after legislative efforts fail, adopts a program that will cost billions. The administration then argues that its action isn’t subject to court review.It is, actually. Back in 2019, Donald Trump demanded that Congress appropriate nearly $6 billion to build his border wall. When lawmakers coughed up only about $1.
Maybe that’s right; maybe it’s wrong. Certainly, there’s a distinction between redirecting funds that Congress has already appropriated, as Trump did in the case of the wall, and implementing a policy change that, because of the large sums involved in the student loan program, has enormous financial consequences.on emergency authorities to sidestep Congress and implement policy changes.
That seems right as a question of law — and standing isn’t an issue on which the administration or a court can choose to look the other way. It has to be present for the case to proceed. But this hurdle is problematic as a matter of policy.
Preventing Presidential over-reach is the job of Congress. Congress if they wish can pass a law, in this case over the President’s veto, to prohibit student loan forgiveness. Problem solved. The Court should not insert itself, as it always seems to do between the other 2 branches
Comparable to power of the pardon, spending without consultation is royal prerogative: was the American Revolution a takeover or a makeover? POTUS very much in line with propaganda piece Leviathan. Charles I was beheaded for just such ignorance (Hobbes wrote it the year after)
I sent a test of his power to spend our money without Congressional approval?
Clarence Thomas tests the legitimacy of the Court.
We need a border wall more than Student Loan forgiveness.
