Then who, if not the House, can propose a budget? No budget on military spending, The Senate cannot propose spending of any kind.
The Founders would be disgusted with the condition of the government. The House of Representatives is now a totally irrelevant branch. The government is now run by Executive Order,Senate,judges, and political zealotry.
