A heated debate is underway in Washington as President Donald Trump's directive to halt the distribution of trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans has sparked a constitutional crisis. Congressional Democrats and good government groups argue that the move is an overreach of executive power, while Republicans defend the decision as a necessary measure to review spending. The controversy has highlighted the ongoing struggle for power between the legislative and executive branches, with concerns about government funding and budget transparency at the forefront.
