A quick definition of impoundment:

Impoundment: Impoundment is when something is taken and held by someone in authority. For example, if a dog is found wandering the streets, it may be impounded by animal control. In government, impoundment can also refer to the President's decision to not spend money that has been approved by Congress. This gives the President the power to control how money is spent, which is not always allowed by the Constitution.

A more thorough explanation:

Impoundment refers to the act of seizing or confiscating something, or the state of being seized or confiscated. In the context of constitutional law, it also refers to the President's power to refuse to spend funds that have been appropriated by Congress.

One example of impoundment is when a police officer impounds a vehicle that has been illegally parked or used in a crime. The vehicle is taken into custody and held until the owner can retrieve it.

In the context of government spending, impoundment can occur when the President decides not to spend money that has been allocated by Congress for a specific purpose. For example, if Congress appropriates funds for a new highway project, but the President decides that the project is not a priority, they may choose to impound the funds and use them for something else.

These examples illustrate how impoundment involves taking control of something that has been designated for a specific purpose. In the case of government spending, it can be a controversial issue because it gives the executive branch the power to override decisions made by Congress.
