GAO认定白宫取消近10亿美元已批拨款"违宪"，两党议员齐声谴责
美国政府问责局（GAO）10月2日表态，白宫上周五深夜宣布取消近10亿美元国会已批准拨款的做法，"颠覆了联邦法律制定的宪法程序和国会的财政拨款权"。被砍资金主要涉及卫生与公众服务部的难民及移民服务项目、教育部移民学生项目、司法部一个促进种族和解办公室等。共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯也谴责此举"未经警告和协商"，称将与同僚联手应对这些"非法行为"。
GAO Calls White House Cancellation of Nearly $1B in Approved Funds "Unconstitutional"
The Government Accountability Office said October 2 that the White House's late-Friday announcement canceling nearly $1 billion in congressionally approved funding "subverts the constitutional process for enacting federal law and Congress's power of the purse." The targeted funds mainly cover refugee and immigrant services at the Department of Health and Human Services, immigrant-student programs at the Department of Education, and a Justice Department office promoting racial reconciliation. Republican Sen. Susan Collins also condemned the move as done "without warning or consultation," vowing to work with colleagues against these "illegal actions."
