I could have sworn, when I was in high school (and that’s partly why I can’t remember for certain - it was a while ago) that we studied a Supreme Court ruling over something very, very similar.
Basically, the Supreme Court ruled that if you wanted to the dance, you had to dance to the music chosen by the man who paid the band!! In other words, if you want Federal funds, you have to follow the rules which the Feds create!!
Did this Supreme Court ruling change all of a sudden?!? I’m always curious how these old Supreme Court rulings aren’t used to stop wasting precious resources and time in Federal courts!!?!!
Congress spends money, not the President.
A President can (and sometimes should) make things difficult, but in the end he can’t stop the money unless he vetoes the spending bill.
good memory.
SCOTUS - South Dakota v. Dole.
