Limiting Presidential Executive Orders During Government Shutdowns
This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to issue new executive orders or presidential memorandums during periods when the government is shut down due to a lack of funding. This means that during a budget crisis, the President would be prevented from using public resources to enact rapid policy changes. The goal is to restrict executive power during times of funding lapse.
Key points
Federal funds cannot be used to issue new executive orders during a government shutdown (lapse in discretionary appropriations).
The restriction applies to both Executive orders and presidential memorandums, aiming to stabilize policy during fiscal crises.
