Trump just told congress he won the popular vote in the 2025 election by “a very large number”.

Fact:

Trump’s 1.5% margin is the fifth smallest since 1900, smaller than Joe Biden’s 4.5% margin in 2020 and Barack Obama’s 7.2% in 2012. It is comparable to George W. Bush’s 0.5% margin in 2000.

5. Arbitrary and Capricious Standard: Under the Administrative Procedure Act, changes to federal grant conditions must follow formal rulemaking procedures and cannot be arbitrary or exceed statutory authority. Courts have previously struck down similar attempts to add new conditions to grants.

4. Title IX Interpretation: Trump’s executive order redefines “sex” under Title IX as biological sex at birth, but this interpretation conflicts with prior rulings and policies that include gender identity under Title IX protections.

3. Impoundment Control Act of 1974: This law prohibits the president from unilaterally withholding congressionally appropriated funds. Courts have consistently rejected claims of inherent presidential authority to “impound” funds without congressional approval.

2. 10th Amendment Protections: The federal government cannot compel states to enforce federal policies under the 10th Amendment. Past attempts by administrations to impose conditions on state policies, such as immigration enforcement, have been blocked for overstepping constitutional limits.

1. Violation of the Spending Clause: The Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the authority to impose conditions on federal funding. Courts have ruled that such conditions must be clear, related to the purpose of the funding, and not coercive.
