Our military deserves to be overpaid for once. Let them keep their bonuses. Take back the citizenship of the 800 foreigners, who were mistakenly given citizenship when they weren’t suppose to be given it. Better yet severly fine and fire the idiot who mistakenly gave out the citizenship.

But, as we all now know, the “rules” don’t apply to the government, members of Congress, employees of the government, and so on.

Yes, the law is pretty clear that only someone with delegated authority can bind the government. Different than a private transaction where someone with apparent authority may be able to bind the company. (FCIC v. Merrill and subsequent cases)

True, but the government paid it, tacitly admitting the debt. Then, there is the time factor. IANAL.

Is it any wonder that the political elites worry about their safety?
Surprised some angry Vet who is getting screwed over by the V.A. and then by the Calif. Governor hasn’t kicked browns ass so far.
No that I would ever advocate for it to happen,
