Bill > HR5679

This bill, named the "Termination of Reckless Unchecked Mandates from this President Act" or the "TRUMP Act", seeks to prevent federal funds from being used to create or issue executive orders during periods when discretionary government funding has lapsed. In practical terms, this means that if the government experiences a budget shutdown or funding gap, the President would be prohibited from issuing new executive orders or presidential memorandums. Discretionary appropriations refer to spending that is not mandatory and requires annual congressional approval, such as funding for many government agencies and programs. The bill appears to be designed to limit presidential power during government funding interruptions, effectively preventing the executive branch from taking certain administrative actions when Congress has not approved a full budget. The legislation would apply to any funding lapses occurring after the date of its enactment.
