Congress created the PEPFAR program and allocated money to it, but the executive seems to have completely shut it down with no replacement. I'm not sure how to square this with your idea that if Congress starts a project, then the later administrations cannot shut it down without an act of congress. (I mean, obviously they legally cannot, but it seems like they can in practice)

You're clearly not paying attention. Which checks? The supreme Court OKed stopping people because they were brown ("Kavanaugh stops") and Congress has lost the power of the purse.

You clearly just want to have a convenient source for your frustration and show no interest in actually solving the problem permanently.

> Which checks?

Congress. They pass laws. The administration is bound, by the constitution, to follow those laws and to administrate them with "due care."

What does this have to do with tax law?

You can't possibly be serious right now. This administration has done nothing but skirt every law at every level. Look around.

And what if the executive does not care to administrate and follow those laws, and Congress does not care or more truthfully cannot do anything even if it did?
