Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a lawsuit against President Joe Biden and members of his administration over the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023.

Paxton alleges that the $1.7 trillion federal omnibus spending bill was illegally signed into law by Biden in December 2022. He asserts in his lawsuit, which he filed on Feb. 15, that the legislation is unconstitutional because it wasn’t duly approved by the House of Representatives.
