Billionaire claims he is implementing \u2018will of the people\u2019; regulatory agencies now accountable to the White House in potential violation of constitution<\/p>\n
As Donald Trump\u2019s administration continues to fire thousands of federal workers and radically slash federal spending, some Republicans are growing unnerved, Axios reports<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n As the cuts start to hit GOP lawmakers\u2019 districts and states, some have told Axios there is a larger conflict brewing over the constitutional issue of whether the president can bypass Congress on such decisions.<\/p>\n I think you\u2019re going to see a clash when they \u2026 start abolishing [agencies]. Say like USAid, right? We authorized that. That\u2019s a creature of Congress. If they try to do something like that, then you\u2019re going to get into a constitutional argument or crisis.<\/p>\n Before making cuts rashly, the administration should be studying and staffing to see what the consequences are. Measure twice before cutting. They have had to backtrack multiple times.<\/p>\n We all want efficiencies, there is a way to do it, and the way these people have been treated has been awful in many cases. Awful.<\/p>\n Dozens of Alaskans \u2013 potentially over 100 in total \u2013 are being fired as part of the Trump administration\u2019s reduction-in-force order for the federal government.<\/p>\n Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in our communities. We can\u2019t realize our potential for responsible energy and mineral development if we can\u2019t permit projects. We will be less prepared to manage summer wildfires if we can\u2019t support those on the front lines. Our tourism economy will be damaged if we don\u2019t maintain our world-class national parks and forests.<\/p>\n Congress can\u2019t do anything except complain about it.<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Billionaire claims he is implementing \u2018will of the people\u2019; regulatory agencies now accountable to the White House in potential violation of constitution Musk and Trump put on lovefest in Sean Hannity interview Federal judge refuses to block Musk team\u2019s access to US government data As Donald Trump\u2019s administration continues to fire thousands of federal workers … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33732\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2shorts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
