This is the blackmail of politics when you have a man with a pen.

What the hell do you think the Republicans can do?

The problem is where you need 2/3's of both houses. Our forefathers pulled that out of the air.

The Democrats never need 2/3rds to get their agenda through

I don’t think there is much air where they pulled that from.

Bull Shiite.

All it take is 50% +1 in the House to deny a POTUS money to do any and everything.

That is beyond dispute.

If the House does not appropriate the money, it cannot be spent AND NO OTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT CAN PROMISE AN IOU FOR IT.

The GOP House can stop this anytime they wish.
