The Constitution does not give the President the independent authority to decide at his whim whether or not to spend funds that have been appropriated by Congress.
Again, all executive power rests with the President. That is what the Constitution says.
Congress has the spending power, that is crystal clear in the Constitution.
Crystal clear, eh? Show me where it says that.
Faithly executing the laws of the U.S. includes treating the check-writing responsibility as largely ministerial unless Congress has granted discretion.
Show me where it says that, too.
