Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
Despite all the confusion over the impact of his sudden move Tuesday, the Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear, experts tell ABC News: President Donald Trump's controversial executive order to indefinitely pause federal funding is illegal.
"The basic idea is the power of the purse is given by Article I to Congress," Michael Dorf, constitutional law professor at Cornell University Law School, told ABC News. "If Congress says you're spending that much money on the federal programs, that's how much is being spent. The president cannot stop it even temporarily."
While past presidents have tried to impound -- or hold back -- federal funding in specific cases, Trump's directive to indefinitely freeze financial assistance, grants and loans and foreign aid has taken it to a new level, according to Steve Vladeck, a professor of law at Georgetown Law School.
A federal judge agreed Tuesday and temporarily blocked the funding pause from taking effect until next week.
Despite Trump's influence and GOP backing of most of his policies, the experts warned that his orders have no legal ground to stand on -- and history has shown that such blatant disregard for legislative power has been consistently overruled.

"It's a question of when, not if, this block is overturned by the courts," Vladeck told ABC News.
The use of executive power to curtail federal spending came to the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1970s when President Richard Nixon ordered the Environmental Protection Agency not to dole out funding for various programs, including water treatment. The Supreme Court ruled in 1975 in Train v. City of New York that the president had no power to overrule Congress by impounding funding.
Dorf said the controversy over the move led Congress in 1974 to pass the Impoundment Control Act that closed some loopholes and made it harder for a president to try to stop spending money lawmakers allocated.
"Congress passed this statue this very particular rules of what exactly the president has to do if he wants to not spend money on money Congress has spent," Dorf explained. "He can ask Congress to for a recission, but there is a 45-day clock and a bunch of procedures, none of which have been followed by Trump."
