Unlawful Actions

So Elon Musk has reportedly taken control of most of the IT systems in the federal government, in particular the US Treasury. This means he can unilaterally decide what bills are paid, and which are not.

The US constitution states that Congress controls how our taxes are spent, i.e. Musk (unelected, with no official government position) now has the power to unlawfully control government spending.

Meanwhile the president has decided to ignore a treaty which he negotiated in his first term: the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The president does have the power to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada, but only under certain conditions. None of these conditions exist. Failing to stop the (fictitious) flow of Fentanyl from Canada is not a valid reason.

If a president can just ignore a treaty (even one he negotiated and signed), why would any country be willing to sign a treaty with us in the future?

So far not a single Republican member of Congress has even publicly objected to either of these actions. What do we even need Congress for, if they don’t even object to unlawful actions, much less stop them
