The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reissued its August 13 ruling in Global Health Council v. Donald J. Trump as an amended opinion, maintaining its core holding that private plaintiffs lack any cause of action to enforce the Impoundment Control Act and that enforcement is channeled exclusively through the Comptroller General of the United States. The amended opinion solidified the legal landscape in which the administration’s impoundment practices could proceed with significantly reduced risk of private judicial challenge.
