The House cannot unilaterally defund anything. They would need the Senate's approval & President's signature to do so. What the House can do when it comes to the annual budget process is to hold the debt ceiling hostage, or threaten government shutdown.
Unfortunately FReepers predicted that there would be no 0500 hrs raid and perp walks televised on CNN. Two years ago.

That idea has a certain appeal to me. Done correctly, it would certainly constitute a good object lesson.
Thanks.
They can “defund” by not proposing future spending.
