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 ...
