What are the odds the Trump settlement could be ruled invalid on the grounds that it amounts in practice to unilateral Presidential expenditure of federal funds independent of explicit Congressional budgetary authorizations?

We have at least SOME precedent for this: Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417 (1998) held that, whenever X amounts to Y in practice (in this case, a line item veto amounting to a presidential alteration to the bill), then the law that does X is just as unconstitutional as if the law were to expressly say Y directly.

So applying the legal theory mentioned in the title, what are the odds that the Supreme Court would declare that to be valid?

And let's focus entirely on the Supreme Court, since we all know it's inevitable that they'll grant certiori on it eventually, rendering the actual decisions of the lower courts irrelevant and merely a time-wasting formality, at least for the purposes of this discussion.

What would happen if a person achieved immortality (e.g. from a genie's wish or some other mechanism) and then a time-traveler went back in time and killed the immortal's grandfather before he conceived his father?

Let's assume that the time-traveler is different than the immortal, so we can set aside the Grandfather Paradox for now.

Would the grandfather's death override the grandson's immortality? Or would the grandson's future immortality mean the time traveler's efforts would inevitably fail somehow? Or would something else happen entirely?

Xaviar Woods will probably just go back to his old indie ring name, Austin Creed. Meanwhile, Kofi Kingston can probably keep his ring name, since he used it with a middle name on the indies.

But what will their tag team name be? That's an entirely WWE creation, right there.

And I'd imagine they'd obviously be a tag team. They're just as much friends IRL as the Shield are, and so having them jump ship at the same time but NOT be a tag team would just be stupid.
