Who holds the power of the purse in the federal government?
The so-called "power of the purse" is the ability of Congress or any other legislative body to control what the other two branches of government do by appropriating or not appropriating budget funds to the other branches. For example, the President as Commander-in-Chief of the military forces has the right to decide how those forces are used within the scope of constitutional and statutory restrictions. Under the War Powers Act, the president may deploy military forces for a short period of time without a formal declaration of war by Congress. However, even though that is within his authority, he cannot do that unless he has the funds in the military budget to do it. If Congress refuses to appropriate money for such a military purpose, Congress can effectively prevent the President from doing something he has the legal right to do.
