Can you translate that into English please?
I think it means ‘you’ve given me the money, I’m declaring an emergency and will spend it as I see fit’.
That in a sense in a nutshell is it. He has enough $$$ to carry past Nov and has now put the onus on Congress to pass a budget. He has essentially a line item veto on these appropriation bills because of that 1985 law. Anyone who is bellyaching over this right now is wasting their breath because virtually none of the pork and mandates in this bill are now null and void.
Is this true? I know the letter is, but is it really up to the president?
