On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed the spending, which will fund the government through September 30, 2017. Earlier, the US House of Representatives and the Senate approved a $1.1 trillion government funding bill that will finance US operations through September 30.
The president said that on a number of provisions of this bill he will act in accordance with his constitutional powers of the head of state and the commander-in-chief.
According to him, the provisions limiting the financing of peacekeeping operations, under certain conditions, may limit the authority of the president to make changes in command and in the management of military personnel.
The bill also includes provisions that prohibit the transfer of prisoners to Guantánamo to other countries and the United States. As for the provisions on the budget, Trump drew attention to the ban on financing payments to some advisers of the White House. This bill, according to Trump, prevents him from managing and receiving the views of senior advisers, violates the principle of separation of powers and undermines the president's ability to fulfill his constitutional obligations.
