The Biden administration has put a hold on a shipment of military aid to Israel in a nakedly political attempt to win votes in key swing states. Presidents have been impeached for far less.
The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 governs the control of funds appropriated by Congress. It was enacted to reassert Congress' power of the purse and prevent the president from simply substituting their own funding decisions for those of Congress. While it was once an obscure rule on governing spending, the masses may remember it for its brief starring role in the first impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.
We have a president who believes he is above the law.' Or at least that is how then-candidate for Biden explained the appearance of impropriety in 2020.Some may argue that this behavior, while wrong, could not possibly constitute the kind of high crimes and misdemeanors that might lead a president to get impeached. And yet, as the U.S. Government Accountability Office found in January 2020, this kind of unlawful decision does have very real constitutional significance.
