    If the legislative has delegated the execution of certain fiscal policy to the executive, and given the executive certain bounds within which it can operate on that fiscal policy, then the executive is within its prerogative to do so.

    The legislative branch has been abdicating power to the executive for some time due to its own consistent deadlock. I don’t think that’s a good thing, but it does mean the executive often ends up with some limited purse string control.

        Yes, that’s in the text is the heroes act that the supreme court failed to read properly and wrote their dumb ass majority decision about.

        I’d recommend reading about the majority decision and the dissent from Kagen.
