Can President Trump Steal the Power of the Purse?

from Is That Even Constitutional? · host Sadena Thevarajah and Ken Thomas

In 2016, Donald Trump said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters"  In 2025, Donald Trump illegally took billions of dollars of research grants away from Harvard University. I guess we can't say we weren't warned.  This podcast explores how the power to control funding, which is called the power of the purse, belongs to Congress, not the President.
