No. It's. Not.

If a continuing resolution isn't passed, it is up to the discretion of the President as to what gets funded and what doesn't within the money remaining.

Which is to say: Obamacare gets funded and, e.g., the military doesn't get paid.

The only way the House can exert any authority in the matter is if it gets the Senate to agree with them on what gets funded and what doesn't.

And that ain't gonna happen...

The House will have no effective authority over funding until such time as real budgets are again in control of expenditures -- and not the Current Services Baseline.

Which means ridding ourselves of any remnant of Democrat control of the federal government.
