How much discretion does the Executive branch have to move appropriated funds around? |
|
What I'm wondering is, is there some way to move funds in the budget that were appropriated for the Commerce Department and for Health and Human Services in order to use them for emergency jobs programs without having to go through the Congressional bottleneck?
I ask this since it appears that we can assume the people who killed HCR will try to kill ANY funding for anything related to jobs creation.

2. I honestly don't know the answer. |

I was just wondering if there was any latitude to use what they've already got to do public works stuff.
