Yippee !! Wondered when the House would put the maggot n chief in his place !! Three branches ... Executive, Legislative, and Judicial... Executive doesn’t have the power to declare war or get us into a war.

295 plus 193 equals 488. You aren’t counting the Representatives of all 57 states by any chance, are you?

This sets the table for parlimentary procedure. There will now be a resolution cut the funding off.

They just voted NOT to cut off funding, it’s smoke and mirrors as usual.
