The act of delaying the dispersal of the funds without congressional notification is illegal because it was not a programmatic delay.Gov’t Watchdog Office: OMB Broke Law With Trump-Ordered Ukraine Aid Freeze
Gov't Watchdog Office: OMB Broke Law With Trump-Ordered Ukraine Aid Freeze
The U.S. Government Accountability Office, a government watchdog agency that advises Congress, concluded Thursday that the hold President Trump ordered his Office of Management and Budget to place on Ukraine military assistance violated the law.
“Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law,” a GAO opinion said. “OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA.”
The opinion outlined the reasons holds can be legally placed on congressionally authorized funding, and said the rational given for freezing the Ukraine aid did not fit within those reasons.
“The burden to justify a withholding of budget authority rests with the executive branch. Here, OMB has failed to meet this burden. We conclude that OMB violated the ICA when it withheld USAI funds for a policy reason,” the GAO said.

So much for the Trumper assertion Trump broke no laws.
The law said the aid had to be released by Sep. 30th, it was done before that. So how did they violate the law?

That is a demonstrable lie.There was no delay
As you know, that is immaterial. Do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a "commie?"That is a demonstrable lie.There was no delay
Really, what date did the law give as a deadline to release the aid? Come on commie, demonstrate it's a lie. Quote the fucking law.

Well the issue for impeachment is not just that Trump held up the aid without complying legally with how a president can holdup aid. The issue for impeachment is WHY he held it up.“The GAO report identifies the OMB and not the President and said it was for policy reasons, not for political reasons,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) told reporters Thursday. “I don’t think that it changes anything.”
Even Repub senators can't their lies straight.
"Already, documents and witness testimony in the impeachment inquiry make clear President Trump ordered the freeze."

Of course the gop will acquit, but the fact that he didn't comply with OMB rules is evidence of his intent to hold up the aid specifically to damage Biden's political fortunes and help his own personal ambitions, and that would be grounds to kick him out of office
I'm not sure he knows why the date of dispersal is irrelevant.As you know, that is immaterial. Do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a "commie?"That is a demonstrable lie.There was no delay

"In the summer of 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withheld from obligation funds appropriated to the Department of Defense (DOD) for security assistance to Ukraine. In order to withhold the funds, OMB issued a series of nine apportionment schedules with footnotes that made all unobligated balances unavailable for obligation.
Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law. OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA."
