Well known in Washington DC circles that the Majority Leader is a higher office than President
And the Senate Budget Committee Chairman is the President’s equal:
“Many have asked how a valley in East Tennessee became the first Manhattan Project site. Ray Smith, Historian, has reason to believe politics might have played a role. According to Mr. Smith, President Roosevelt needed to convince Congress to spend a large amount of money without knowing what is was going to be used for. President Roosevelt asked Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kenneth Douglas McKellar, a Democrat from Tennessee, if this could be done. Senator McKellar is said to have replied, “Yes, Mr. President, I can do that for you ... now just where in Tennessee are you going to put that thang?””
It may not even be true but I get a kick out of that tale.
Unless he is a Aussie traitorous coward.
Where is the freedom caucus?
