President Donald Trump's early moves to control spending test authority of Congress

Newsday quoted Shawn Donahue in a story reporting that Trump’s early moves to control spending are testing the authority of Congress. Donahue said while Trump is pushing for more authority over spending, he could be opening the door for a future Democratic president to wield that same power. “Whenever you give power to a president or Congress or whomever, and it's your party,” he said, “you have to remember that you're likely giving that to the president or the Congress next time the opposing party is in power.”
