The president has a contingency fund that he is free to use every single day; he does not have to account to Congress for one dime of it.

If he wants to spend more through an agency, he has to ask Congress; but not in a case like this.

The fool is the one who insists that it does but fails to back up their argument by providing the portion of the Constitution which proves it.

Kindly post the reply where I said anything close to that. I can wait.

You've said that much. Show me the part of the Constitution that authorizes Congress to appropriate money for such a "discretionary" or "contingency" fund from which the President can spend any way he wants to.

Um, you're really batting a thousand today. Look, I asked you for the portion of the Constitution authorizing expenditures on disaster relief for foreign nations. In response, you called me a fool for not believing that the President has a "discretionary" fund to spend any old way he feels like. You NEVER provided the portion of the Constitution authorizing such a thing. I simply pointed out that the fool is the one who can't back up their statement saying the Constitution authorizes a thing without providing the portion wherein the authorization is made.
