Trump's Plan To Expand Presidential Powers Faces GOP Resistance [View all]
It is a complete power grab!Trump has sweeping plans to give himself more power if re elected, but some members of his own party are indicating they're not on board.
WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump’s sweeping plans to remake the presidency ― and give himself more power than ever if he is elected to the White House again ― have met with a chilly reception from members of his own party in Congress.
The former president and his allies are vowing to bring independent federal agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission under direct presidential control, revive the practice of “impounding” funds appropriated by Congress, and strip employment protections for thousands of civil servants in the executive branch, ostensibly to replace them with Trump’s own chosen political appointees.
