Congress democrats want to be sure Donald Trump And his administration does not try to seize or chooses not to spend part of the money that is allocated in a new expenditure account to prevent a government closure on the Deadline of 14 March.
They specifically demand the certainty that Trump will spend the money as The congress has assigned, And this can take shape in a provision in the bill to prevent the government from being closed next month, four sources that are familiar with the discussions that are shared with Fox News Digital.
The requirement comes as Trump and Congress Democrats during the 1974 arguing Seized check -lawwho re -confirmed the power of the wallet of the congress and hinded the executive branch to stop assigned funds.

Some constitutional scholars, however, have argued that this law was unconstitutional, a philosophy that Trump and his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Chief Russell Vought Share.
The collision of seized can eventually take care of the courts.
“The administration will not accept any infringement of its legal or constitutional authorities,” the deputy secretary of the White House, Anna Kelly, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“Yes, I think we look through and consider all the different options on this point how we can meet it,” Senate majority leader John ThuneRs.d., Fox News Digital told in a statement.
“And again, I remind people, we are in this situation because last year the Democrats did not relocate any possession law, although 11 of them had been hired by the committee. So this is a pile that they made, and and Now we have to try to find out how to manage.

As the majority leader has referred, the government has been largely financed in recent years by Stops expenditure accounts, in which the Democrats were not willing to bring accounts of loans to the ground when they were at the helm in the previous congress.
Home credit committee chairman Tom Cole, R-okla., During the GOP conference meeting on Tuesday and his colleagues told him that Democrats asked too high a prize in negotiations that limit Trump’s authority, a Republican legislator shared with Fox News Digital.
“We cannot just reach an agreement, take a bill and then remain sitting while President Trump is tearing our laws in two,” said Senate Credit Committee member of Patty Murray, D-Wash., Said her office recently. “There is a serious two -fold path ahead for our country – but it is one where the congress cooperates to prevent a shutdown, stops the de facto shutdown that is already happening and re -confirms its authority to protect the financing our communities need.”

She explained: “There is still no agreement. We are close by, but there is still no agreement on the top line and the allocation under that for defense and non-defense. I have made four different offers. The latter was a joint Offer with Tom Cole, and it was a very fair range, just like everyone else. “
Democrats are in a position that they were not in the first weeks of the new congress, because the two parties try to negotiate an expenditure law to prevent a partial closure of the government: they have leverage.

Republicans need a certain degree of democratic support for an expenditure law to get it through the house and the Senate. Sixty voices are needed in the Senate, which means that at least seven Democrats must support the bill, provided that all Republicans also support it. The house only requires a majority, but full republican support for an account is not guaranteed.
With that in mind, Democrats use their position to try to collapse Trump’s actions with regard to shaking federal bureaucracy and canceling expenditure and contracts through the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which was raised billionaire Elon Musk to lead.
