The House can defund it. Spending bills must originate in the House.

So how do spending bills become law?

[JewishRighter]

Spending bills become law by passage through both houses of congress and a signature by the President. But that doesn’t change the fact that, if the house does not originate the bill, there is no bill for the Senate to vote on or for the President to sign.

For the last three years, they haven't.
