A divided panel of appeals court judges says the Trump administration can suspend or terminate billions of dollars of congressionally appropriated funding for foreign aid.

Only the legislative branch can sue a presidential administration for making changes to congressionally approved budgets, the federal appeals court in DC ruled after looking at President Donald Trump’s administration ending planned grants for foreign aid.

Henderson, who was appointed to the appeals court by President George H.W. Bush, said the court was not addressing the question of whether Trump's foreign aid freeze violated the U.S. Constitution by infringing on the spending power of Congress.
