Congress can pass its own budget, and the president does not have to sign it. And Congress can pass the appropriations bills whether or not a budget has been passed by either house of Congress. So he is blowing smoke again.
I think Congress needs to pass the defense appropriations bill right away with the necessary increases, and send it to him for signature. If he refuses to sign it because they haven’t passed the domestic spending appropriations bills, make him own that - make the point in the press every time a GOP representative is interviewed. Don’t wait and send him another omnibus bill that he can veto and then blame on the GOP.
Exactly, bury the idiot in paper and have a press conference everytime he vetoes a bill.
