I still do not comprehend where you get to 1/2 of 1/3.
This 1/3, the House, has a majority and therefore can block any appropriations bill it wants since they all originate right there.
In my feeble brain the GOP rules over 1/3 of the Govt, not 1/6.

Per the Constitution, any bill that originates and passes in the House, also need to be passed by the Senate.
Republicans control only the House, not the Senate. Thusly 1/2 of one branch of gov’t
