President-elect Donald Trump's House Republican allies are pushing for him to have greater control over annual sessions of Congress government spending Deal with it next year.

Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde introduced a bill Monday that would repeal a measure that forces the president to direct the federal government to spend all funds allocated by Congress each year.

Clyde told Fox News Digital on Thursday that he also plans to introduce the bill in the next Congress when Republicans control the House, Senate and White House, and that the issue is already being discussed in Trump circles.

"This was certainly a topic that came up when Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk discussed the Department of Government Effectiveness on Capitol Hill earlier this month," Clyde said.

"They're in favor of it because how can you be more efficient without the ability to reduce expenses? You simply can't."

He also told a small group of reporters earlier this month that Russell Vought, the incoming director of Trump's Office of Management and Budget, "is very much in favor of this."

The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 was passed during the Nixon administration and was intended to prevent the president from having a unilateral say in government spending.

Currently, the president must obtain congressional approval to revoke any funds allocated in a given year. Funds may be retained for up to 45 days while the request is being processed.

"I think it's very, very important for the president to exercise this power," Clyde said. "Ever since Congress introduced this bill, you've seen spending really spiral. That's not good for our country."

Clyde’s bill would repeal the Impoundment Control Act. A corresponding bill is being introduced in the Senate Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee.

Clyde said more than a dozen House Republicans also support his bill.

Musk and Ramaswamy argued for Trump in a Wall Street Journal op-ed last month after the president-elect tapped them to lead an advisory group to cut government waste. Big powers to defund.

The Georgia Republican acknowledged the bill's chances in the current Democratic-controlled Senate with just one week left in Congress, but said he would "definitely" introduce it in the next Congress.

He described Monday's introduction as "putting a flag in the ground and saying, 'Hey, this is a power that the president should be able to use unimpeded, and we're going to help.'"

However, the issue is likely to be divided along partisan lines. Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pennsylvania, Democratic leader house budget committeeresponding to Musk and Ramaswamy's op-ed, calling their ideas "both stupid and dangerous."

"Unilateral cuts in funds legally appropriated by the people's elected representatives in Congress would be a devastating power grab that will devastate our economy and put families and communities at risk," Boyle said in a statement.
