And, here's the central part of McConnell's reasoning:
The Executive's statement that the Executive Branch has a duty "to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities," (ECF No. 48-1 at 11) (emphasis added) is a constitutionally flawed statement. The Executive Branch has a duty to align federal spending and action with the will of the people as expressed through congressional appropriations, not through "Presidential priorities." U.S. Const. art. II, § 3, cl. 3 (establishing that the Executive must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed .."). Federal law specifies how the Executive should act if it believes that appropriations are inconsistent with the President's priorities-it must ask Congress, not act unilaterally. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may ask that Congress rescind appropriated funds.? Here, there is no evidence that the Executive has followed the law by notifying Congress and thereby effectuating a potentially legally permitted so-called "pause."
