Trump promises Medicare and ACA checks without Congress, legal questions raised
Original: Is it legal? Trump promises Medicare and ACA checks without Congress ahead of midterm elections
President Trump has pledged to send checks to Medicare and Affordable Care Act beneficiaries ahead of the midterm elections, without approval from Congress. News outlets are questioning whether the move is legal, since federal spending typically requires congressional authorization. The promise has drawn scrutiny over its timing so close to the elections and its potential legal vulnerability.
Why now: The pledge raises constitutional questions about spending without congressional approval, weeks before the midterms.
