Presently, the laws are designed to be executed by the Executive branch.

“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America .... he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress.”

Don’t worry Chuck, if it makes it through Congress I’m sure you can convince Trump to sign it. /s

They have no such authority, separation of powers. They may have the power of the purse but the executive branch is responsible for execution. They have zero authority over how things are executed.

Plans such as these reinforce the truth that they simply cannot win in 2026!

It’s not just at USAID. That agency is just the tip of the iceberg in uncovering Democrat corruption throughout the federal government. I think it will be on a scale even bigger than many of us thought it was.

“ LOL how is the huge? There is less than a 0 percent chance anything they introduce goes any further than the waste paper basket beside their desk.”

All Musk has to find is one invoice to a shell corp run by Schumer and it is over.
