The idea you have is nice, but congress doesn't pass real budgets any more. That means that there is a lot more ability to make the money slosh around.

Like it or not, the budgets passed by congress are budgets from the perspective of the constitution.

We are wildly far beyond strict constitutionalism. This has been a trap for conservative causes for a very long time. We are now playing the game the same way the left does: win and govern.

You'll have to excuse me for being mortally terrified of "we are unencumbered by the law and will do whatever we want with power."

Laws have never encumbered humans. We're governed by social norms and those have been destroyed: massive immigration, sexual mutilation of children, and wanton spending of US taxpayer dollars.
