How it started
Supreme Court Limits Executive Spending Power; Census Policy Under Review
What happened
The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Unprogrammed Appropriations, clarifying that the Executive cannot use this budgetary device to circumvent constitutional limits or grant unrestricted discretion over public spending. Separately, the administration proposed a census rule that would only count citizens and lawful permanent residents, a move that follows previous Supreme Court decisions limiting alterations to the 14th Amendment.
