"No president" has the legal authority to spend a dime without Congressional authorization.

No president should be able to spend money like that. The president cannot. That's congress's job, which as we know they have not been doing for several years. Congress appropriates spending bills and authorizations.

They also Twitter their Weiner when not doing much else.

It just goes to show we have no Constitution. Only Congress has the power of the purse. Looks like POTUS has taken this power for himself.
