The separation of powers gives certain powers to each branch of government. The power of the purse is the ultimate power and it belongs to the house of representatives.
It is their duty to use it to keep the other branches in check. If they fail to use it the whole system falls apart.

The House also possesses the impeachment power.
It’s past time that it was deployed regularly, and vigorously.

The key word seems to be “propose”. The House can propose until the cows come home, but without senate consent, there is no purse to swing. What a deal, huh?
