My original post as Torillian mention turned out to be incorrect. Would of been correct between 1961 till 1998 but I was unaware when I wrote the post that congress did pass a law in 1998 establishing it as a independent agency. Also in the 2024 congress passed a law that explicitly requires both congressional consultation and notification to congress for reorganization, consolidation or downsizing of USAID. A decent article covering all the facts https://www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-president-dissolve-usaid-by-executive-order/ |
I guess if you can give Trump credit for anything I've learned a lot more about civics than I ever wanted to bother with before. Appreciate the addition of the 2024 thing, I hadn't read about that one yet.
