“…#Trump proposed cutting funds for the #Smithsonian by more than $60 million.
Congress rejected that cut and increased Smithsonian funding to account for inflation.

In both cases, Vought likely has been emboldened by the Impoundment Control Act’s lack of penalties for his unlawful withholding of funds.”
