The President of the United States can allocate emergency funding from anywhere in the budget to fund the troops.

No he can't, not legally at least. If we forbid him to spend money on something, then he can't spend money on it. His will doesn't trump the people's.

Good job moving the goalposts there, so you admit there is no such congressional prohibition and to propose there are 67 Senators who would concur is a rather absurd proposition.

In short if the (D)s make a big fuss and threaten starve our troops out of Iraq they will lose both wings of congress as that is clearly not the will of the people.

Fortunately for our Republic it appears Binden & Co are just squawking for their moonBat base.

Wrong, he can do it and he will do it.

If the Congress tries to cut off funding for victory in Iraq, the President should simply ignore them.
