Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court ruled against President Donald Trump's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), affirming that such actions violate congressional authority. Trump's executive order, which aimed to strip USIP of its function and board members, was deemed unconstitutional as it bypassed Congress. Howell emphasized that the Institute, established by legislation and continuously funded by Congress, should not be dissolved without proper legislative procedures. This ruling underscores the importance of adherence to the constitutional framework governing the separation of powers.
