The U.S. DOT, under Secretary Sean Duffy, attempts to invalidate the congestion pricing agreement through claims of unwritten rules permitting contract nullification by the federal agency. Duffy's legal team asserts that federal authority provides him with sovereign powers that cannot be relinquished silently. However, this argument is challenged by the MTA, which states there is no contractual basis allowing such cancellation. The situation raises concerns about unrestrained executive power, drawing parallels to monarchic authority.
Duffy and the Federal Highway Administration are trying to nullify the agreement that authorized congestion pricing, claiming an unwritten rule allowing the federal agency to void contracts at will.
Duffy's lawyers argue that federal power grants him "sovereign prerogatives [that] cannot be relinquished silently," despite no contractual clause permitting such action.
