Resumen
Este documento explora la Cláusula de Apropiaciones Presupuestales dentro del diseño constitucional estadounidense, subrayando su importancia para restringir y asignar eficientemente el poder público. Para esto, analiza las disputas políticas que han involucrado a las presidencias de Obama y Trump con el Congreso, desplegando también esfuerzos conjuntos entre poderes públicos, como la aprobación del Plan Colombia. Un contenido sustancial se centra en establecer cómo funciona el ciclo de apropiaciones presupuestales, junto con cómo enfoques jurídicos como la Doctrina Chevron arrojan luz sobre el rol del poder judicial en la solución de disputas entre el Congreso y el Ejecutivo por el control del poder del erario.
