what a credit seeking, toadying, “liddle” hypocrite you are ryan. you, cantor and boehner could have constitutionally defunded obamacare anytime after 2010.
Please pay attention. This specifically WASN’T funded. President Obama ordered the money spent anyway. That was the point of Ryan’s comments in support of President Trump’s action.
As far as Obamacare en total, you are wrong, they could have only defunded it if the Senate passed the same and the President (at that time Obama) signed it into law. The House can’t defund something unilaterally. It also fell under the category of mandatory spending which is why it continued without a budget during the government shutdown.
