The executive branch's ability to simply de-staff and de-fund organizations whose existence is enshrined in law seems like a clear imbalance as far as the separation of powers goes. Effectively a line item veto of sorts across every aspect of government / law that only the executive branch is being granted.
Does congress pass a law that says for an agency to do a thing with a veto proof majority? Doesn't matter, executive branch can just choose to de-fund and de-staff it ...
The fact that SCOTUS indicates they're not making the final call on this right now seems to simply play into the hands of those who don't really care to follow the law anyway.
