Trump circumvents Congress to block foreign aid

Excellent. I’d like to see less biased articles; hopefully no judges can prevent this.

...and Q has informed us just why D.C. is so vitally interested in sustaining foreign aid... uh huh, we understand. How else can deserving Congress-critters become multi-millionaires?

question out of ignorance here.

the power of the purse resides with the House. Nothing in the Constitution indicates that the House gets to say how\when the money can be spent - though revenue bills sometimes do have that stipulation.

If money has been appropriated to any dept. in the executive branch, does POTUS have a right to spend it (or not spend it) as he sees fit ?
