Can someone explain how Trump can legally pay a department not funded by Congress? If he can do so under EO as an “emergency,” how long can he do this and from what funds will he pay them? #AntideficiencyAct

#POTUS’s declaration that he will ignore the laws Congress passed and take it upon himself to spend money as he wishes undermines not just the #AntideficiencyAct but also the fundamental principle that the American people must have control over their own finances
