No, I’m talking about the article, which is focused on literal HR rules. USAID still exists on paper but Congress reallocated its budget to the State Department.

So, per your interpretation, the president can just ignore any law created by Congress by simply allocating zero funds to any agency carrying out the law?

USAID was created by Congress when it formally codified USAID into statute through the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act in 1998.

So, how is the president allowed to simply ignore a law passed by Congress?
