The motion is linked below as are documents from original case. The case, formerly known as LuΓ©vano v. Campbell, is now known as LuΓ©vano v. Ezell

Since 1981, federal hiring has been covered by the LuΓ©vano consent decree. Under the decree, the government ended use of PACE (its written civil service exam at the time) and established new hiring programs. Last week, the Trump administration moved to terminate the decree.

In contrast, when presidents desire to spend more than appropriated (which is regulated by the Anti-Deficiency Act), they do not systematically overspend. Paper linked below and comments welcome as I continue to revise and add further analysis!

The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 banned unilateral impoundment but enforcement is uncertain. In practice, I find presidents were able to spend less than appropriated both before and after the ICA. While I observe less non-compliance immediately following the ICA, it rebounds.

Given recent news, I’m happy to share a working paper quantifying presidential deviations from enacted budgets from 1958-2018. Analyzing agency/bureau level data on spending and presidential requests, I find that presidents spend less than appropriated when they desire to.
