Joe Biden May Have Committed Major Violation By Stopping Border Funds...
When Joe Biden took office in January, everyone knew former President Donald Trump’s most controversial project was in trouble. After all, Democrat leaders had been trying to stop it for years. So, nobody was really surprised when Biden halted funding for the southern border wall. State leaders weren’t too happy with the result, though, as they’ve complained of huge foreign surges ever since.
And as it turns out, the President might’ve committed a serious violation. That’s what Rep. Jason Smith from the House Budget Committee alleges — in a letter obtained by The Daily Caller, Smith called on state attorneys general to take legal action against Biden. Smith believes he has a case, too.
When Biden froze border wall funds, Smith says POTUS may have violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, “which reasserted Congress’ sole authority over budgetary spending.”
As Smith wrote: "As previous legal opinions from the GAO on similar matters have noted, the withholding of congressionally appropriated federal funds for a policy reason may result in a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974."
