I’m a budget wonk. And while anyone who is not a budget wonk may not give a shit, the words “Presidents are not allowed to ignore laws” and “you have to carry out spending laws” are really f’ing important and need to be repeated over and over again.

Presidents are not allowed to ignore laws (duh). And that means you have to carry out spending laws - unless those laws explicitly grant discretion to not carry them out.
Trump and Vought have publicly argued that all spending laws are optional, that Congress MAY NOT mandate *any* spending.
