The courts upheld that. And Presidents routinely redirect money.I did not like, the time he signed the budget, bragged of it being the best ever, then a couple of weeks later, stole and redirected money set forth by line and paragraph, specifically for repairing military bases damaged on the coast by hurricane damage, along with clean water on a Marine base for drinking, and sewage treatment and clean up at the same base to stop polluting thier water, along with that of non-military living close to the base, downstream from where they were dumping raw sewage, plus the funding to build a junior high school on a military base to educate enlisted soldier's kids. All these were line/paragraph numbered approved expenditures in his signed budget. Instead, he ordered the money redirected, to build his wall, a project, both houses of congress refused to put in the budget. He simply asserted top down control over an already passed and signed budget from both houses of congress, usurping the power of the purse strings from congress, as if he had been granted line/paragraph veto over the budget. He who controls the purse, controls the nation. The was not meant to be a one man presidential power, ever, and line/paragraph veto has been rejected by Congress as unconstitutional for 200 years.
Seriously, you have nothing.
