For those complaining about cancelling USAID

This thread USAID thing started because of Musk uncovering corruption. USAID today, Dept of Education, Defense Department, SS, and a host of others will be in line for a audit/trimming.

Yes, but this thread isn't dedicated to those topics. Start another thread (or a series of threads) in order to inflict maximum distress on the lefties, please. As our glorious leader has demonstrated, they don't handle multi-pronged attacks well. :thup:

and saying that Trump doesn't have the authority, I ask you one question. Find me one statute where these words exist as it pertains to USAID. "We establish USAID as an agency of............."

No such words exist anywhere. It was never a duly created office by Congress. It was created by Executive Order. It was "allowed" by Congress, but that is different than saying it had to be created. JFK just chose to take advantage of it and every succeeding President did as well. President Trump is within his power to dismantle it as he sees fit.

Now, unless Congress acts, in four years if there is a demalquedacrat back in Office, with a stroke of a pen, they can recreate it and those in MAGA will have nothing to say. That is how it works.

Sen down this road already, it was created via a EO, but Congress established USAID as an independent entity, and last anyone knew, Congress, not the Executive Branch controls the spending

"within the Executive branch of Government".

Who is the elected Chief Executive?

Yes but the executive branch can't eliminate agencies created by statute. Only the legislature can do that. There are laws requiring all those agencies to report to Congress every year and requiring they publish their goals. Those laws do not go away simply because Trump is President.

Which is exactly why Trump is hitting them with a new and different "outrage" at least once a day. They fail to keep up. Just look at the titles of OP's on this forum alone.
Big Balls is my favorite so far.

"Under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State, the agency primarily responsible for administering subchapter I of this chapter should have the responsibility for coordinating all United States development-related activities."

That appears to mean that the Secretary of State is empowered to guide its policies, does it not?

Therefore, Secretary Rubio could step in ... right?

They don't appear to be capable of multitasking, do they?

It's amazing how stupid and blind people like you are. Read this post that you seemed to be unable to read the first time.
Poor Richard Saunders said:
Of course no such statute exists using those exact words because the Government doesn't create statutes based on their acronym. It uses the actual name of the agency.



Title 22​

§6563. Status of AID​

(a) In general​


Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization plan submitted under section 6601 of this title, and except as provided in section 6562 of this title, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United States Agency for International Development as an entity described in section 104 of title 5.

As to the rest of what you are asking, read title 5
