Congress appropriates funds and the appropriation is approved by a president, enacting that into law… but if a president (or the next one) then refuses to spend those funds as legislated and approved, the only recourse is to have the legislature pass additional legislation to counter the president’s refusal to allow the expenditure? Which of course would be subject to presidential veto.
The court has just made up a new rule that says a president has no obligation to honor any unspent money approved during any previous administration’s term. That’s what it seems to me, anyway.
