Original Note:
Note is not needed. This is an opinion supported by the "power of the purse" and one shared by many legal experts. Even the source in the proposed note states that, while constitutionality hasn't been brought up in court, it is illegal by other statutes which have been upheld. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/does-trump-administrations-spending-pause-violate-us-law-2025-01-28/
