Summary

The White House’s proposed $9 billion DOGE spending cuts face opposition in Congress, with fiscal conservatives like Sen. Rand Paul calling the amount too small.

GOP lawmakers hoped to use DOGE savings to offset Trump-era tax cuts, but budget rules block applying discretionary cuts.

With legislative options limited, the White House may challenge the Impoundment Control Act to assert executive power to freeze congressional funds.

Officials maintain “all options are on the table,” signaling a potential legal battle over presidential budget authority.
