Sorry, you’re wrong.

“Impoundment Control Act, says that once Congress appropriates funds — like the Ukraine assistance — and the president signs the relevant spending bill, the executive branch must spend those funds. A president cannot simply ignore Congress’s direction, no matter how inconvenient or unappealing that instruction might be. If funds are withheld or shifted elsewhere, this cannot be done in secret, and Congress must approve.”

Yep, the answer to Obama was the Tea Party and Trump. The answer to Trump is the Socialist left wing with Sanders, Warren, and AOC-type characters. If we don’t get some balance to this “circus,” we are going to get another set of clowns.

I may be wrong about a lot of things but unlike you, I take my legal cues from more of a strict constructionist view. That way people like you, cannot simply read all manner of ridiculousness into the Constitution simply to support your 'cause du jour.' The President may not be compelled to send US taxpayer dollars to any country with the intentions of wrong doing against the best interests of the land. Take for example sending aid dollars to nations which are known supporters of terrorism against the US or her allies. That power is part of the Executive authority as enumerated under article II of the Constitution which states that the President is to wield the "executive power."

No the answer to Obama was the election of 2016 which you and the left would gleefully undo with abandon. I will just wait to see what unfolds over the next 10 months if it's all the same to you.

And as a postscript. I will never accept the left's assertion which states that there is no right or wrong to be rightfully associated with the positions taken by same. It is the left which pushes for forsaking the Christian tenets on which this nation's system of law was established. End of story.
