The current gov shutdown adding to my mood-board of article clippings about why the unitary executive theory is a bad legal theory:

If a President can point to any unspent funds for an agency, he can reappropriate it for what purposes he wants. We are increasingly operating a form of government where a) we routinely have government shutdowns, and b) the President can selectively end shutdowns for parts of the government he likes, while maintaining them for the part he dislikes. That is is a system of government where Congress has little functional power.
