Hello Tom The problem is that there are not many deals to make which compensate in the minds of local politicans for the jobs lost as shuttle and Constellation go away...and they have to go away to really change the dynamic in human spaceflight. I really dont think that the program is in trouble...for a bunch of reasons not the least of which is that I dont think that there is ANY stomach for additional spending among the American people AND the folks who are trying to capitalize on the problems in DC to get elected. But having said that...if...

No the president can't. The executive branch is required to execute the laws passed by Congress. Congress passed a law, signed by the previous president preventing the president from doing exactly what you think he should do. If he did it without concurrence or approval of Congress it would be unconstitutional and probably grounds for impeachment as he would be acting as a dictator. If they really want to stop spending this year then they need to go back to COngress for approval and at this late time in the FY it's not worth it....
not confused commented on Work Continues On Cancelled Rocket
Hey there I was writing about FY2011, If NASA is still under CR and no budget is passed. Then congress has to pass yet again CR or another bill which the President can VETO and send back for review, then we are in a stalemate and no money can be spent. The legislative protection now given CxP is not going to last under FY2011 would be my guess. This is a formulation year so such as it is, we are wasting money on things NASA does not need, the whole agency is under review and has much visibility as this...
dogstar2 commented on Work Continues On Cancelled Rocket
When did Congress ever pass a law specifically canceling the Space Shuttle? Mike Griffin justified that decision as a presidential directive, although it was his idea. Now that the president doesn't want Constellation, NASA (at least some elements of it) are ignoring the directive and pressing ahead full bore. The administration is no longer running NASA. It is running itself....
