Trump's Expansive Executive Actions Face Mounting Legal Challenges

President Donald Trump tests the limits of presidential authority through sweeping executive orders, prompting legal battles and constitutional scrutiny.

Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders reshaping federal agencies, sparking accusations of overreach and constitutional violations.
Key actions include freezing federal grants, limiting birthright citizenship, and restructuring independent agencies to increase presidential oversight.
Courts have temporarily blocked several initiatives, including foreign aid freezes and birthright citizenship changes, but Trump has also secured procedural victories in other cases.
Critics warn of a potential constitutional crisis, with legal scholars highlighting the unprecedented challenges to the separation of powers and agency independence.
The Supreme Court is set to weigh in on Trump's authority to fire independent agency heads, a case with significant implications for executive power.
