Congress is supposed to and the power of the purse

No it’s not

...yes it is

It says says that in the constitution

Wholesale budget reallocations are much more common than you think

Pelth sincerely- have you read the constitution?

the federal government of the United States, the power of the purse is vested in the Congress as laid down in the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 (the Appropriations Clause) and Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 (the Taxing and Spending Clause).

For instance?

It was only made controversial because the liberals don’t want him to build a wall

So when else has something like this happened?

You're diverting topic

He’s also lying

Let's get back to the Constitution

Congress controls the purse, not the particulars in how each dollar is spent

False.

Congress allocates the money and says how it should be spent

The power of the purse plays a critical role in the relationship of the United States Congress and the President of the United States, and has been the main historic tool by which Congress has limited executive power. One of the most prominent examples is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which eliminated all military funding for the government of South Vietnam and thereby ended the Vietnam War. Other recent examples include limitations on military funding placed on Ronald Reagan by Congress, which led to the withdrawal of United States Marines from Lebanon.

GG @pennypal, you just advanced to level 2!

The money was budgeted for military construction and is being spent for military construction

The wall is a pet project of trump and has nothing to do with the military

Immigration security is national security

Or is there an invasion?

Yes, by criminal aliens

Lol

There are more people overstaying their visas illegally... And by the way that's how the 9/11 bombers got in

Correct

To date no terrorists have come in through the southern border

Also, the military is expressly forbade from engaging in law enforcement

In fairness, pelth is literally an avowed fascist

It was found to be appropriate for him to use the money for the wall so you’re arguing based off incorrect interpretations

It was not

Yes it was

Right. When Trump sent troops to the southern border they couldn't do anything

He was cleared by the courts

If you believe that is true, you do not understand the ruling

No, it was ruled that the president has discretion while the case is decide

So you admit I was right

This isn't about being right or wrong

It's about doing the best thing for our country

He has the discretion to reallocate the budget since he is in charge of the military

Checkmate liberals
