"Under President Trump's bold leadership, every tool in the executive fiscal toolbox has been utilized to achieve real savings, Vought wrote in an introduction to the administration's newest fiscal framework."

The uncertainty surrounding the legality of these actions complicates the appropriations process for Congress.
