Repealing the Impoundment Control Act would let the President withhold funding from any federal agency. This means federal workers across all departments could face sudden budget cuts, hiring freezes, or even layoffs if the President decides to impound funds that pay for their positions or programs. The uncertainty alone could disrupt agency operations and workforce planning.
