Budget Reconciliation and The Executive Branch's Power over Spending

Budget Reconciliation and The Executive Branch's Power over Spending

Join us as we break down the Senate’s recently passed budget reconciliation bill—the first budget bill to clear either chamber. We discuss the bill’s key provisions, the strong opposition from Democrats, and the Senate’s unconventional approach to passing the budget in a bifurcated manner.

We also dive into another major legal win for the Trump administration as a district court upholds its mass layoffs of federal employees. We examine the balance of power between Congress, the executive branch, and the judiciary when it comes to federal spending. This leads us to a deeper discussion on federal spending authority—how Congress creates different “pots” of money and decides how much goes into each, how the executive branch has discretion over how much of each pot to spend, and how the judiciary ensures funds aren’t moved between pots in ways that violate the law.

Finally, in "This Day in History," we reflect on the assassination of Malcolm X and its lasting impact.
