We all are aware

The problem is the congressional funding mandate expired November 1. No authorization or money without congress extending it. You are right, congress controls the purse strings, but they walked out leaving no funding once the prior authorization expired.

The Supreme Court just confirmed that funding originates with congress. What we have is a rogue congress that can't get together and work out a funding bill. The executive branch is robbing Peter to pay Paul to fund SNAP (and the rest of government) at a reduced rate, out of existing emergency funds.

You have it literally backwards. That money is already allocated as a federal program. The president as the Executive doesn't have the power to arbitrarily impede or veto spending after the fact for the very reasons you are trying to argue.

Trump is the one going rogue effectively behaving like a monarch.

Just like all the funds cancelled by the fake DOGE "agency" were illegal. And done by a random billionaire who had no authority to do anything.

Lol. Anyone who disagrees with King Trump is now "rogue". Got it.

Yes and the current SCOTUS has violated the constitution multiple times. Roberts is a dictator.
