Just remember which entity has the purse strings.

It’s the House.

It may not even have to pass a bill. The leadership can refuse to pay out this money one way or another, even passing a bill if need be.

We can blow our cork at Obama if we like, but our team will have to give him sign off to give Iran a dime.

It’s not tax money, so House does not have control.

And Speaker Boehner? “Boehner” is not the German word for “Backbone!”

” Just remember which entity has the purse strings.It’s the House.”

Are you really that naive?

Have you been to Mars the past 6+ years?

You really believe that chief eunuch Boner and the house eunuchs are going to shut down the government after Boner promised he would never do that?

I fully admit I see nothing in the least that indicate the legislative branch will go tits-up on this without the slightest effort from the executive branch.
