Trump allies advocate for greater White House influence over Congress' budgetary powers.

Next year, President-elect Trump's GOP allies in Congress are advocating for him to have more influence over the annual budget process.

On Monday, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., will present a bill to abolish a law mandating the president to allocate the entire Congress-approved budget each year.

Clyde stated to Planet Chronicle Digital on Thursday that he intends to present the bill in the upcoming Congress, when the Republicans hold control over the House, Senate, and White House, and the matter is currently being discussed in Trump's circle.

During their discussion on Capitol Hill earlier this month about the Department of Government Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk brought up the topic, according to Clyde.

"Efficiency requires the ability to reduce spending, which is why they support it."

Earlier this month, a small group of reporters was informed by him that Russell Vought, the incoming Trump Office Of Management and Budget Director, supports this.

The Nixon administration passed the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to prevent the president from having complete control over government expenditures.

A president can request to rescind funding allocated for a specific year, but must obtain congressional approval. The funds can be held for 45 days during the processing of the request.

"The authority is crucial for the president to exercise, as Clyde stated. Since Congress passed that act, spending has been rapidly increasing, which is detrimental to our country, as Clyde pointed out."

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is introducing a bill in the Senate that corresponds to Clyde's bill, which aims to repeal the Impoundment Control Act.

Clyde said over a dozen House Republicans are backing his bill as well.

In an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal last month, Musk and Ramaswamy argued for Trump to have more power to revoke funding, following their appointment as leaders of a panel tasked with reducing government waste.

The Georgia Republican admitted that the bill's chances of passing in the current Democrat-controlled Senate are slim, but he confirmed that he would definitely present it in the next Congress.

He portrayed Monday's introduction as "planting a flag, declaring 'This is an authority that the president can utilize without obstruction, and we will assist.'"

Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., criticized the ideas presented in an op-ed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as both "idiotic" and "dangerous."

Boyle stated that unilaterally cutting funds that were legally allocated by Congress through the people's elected representatives would be a destructive abuse of power that harms our economy and endangers families and communities.
