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.

Presidents must notify Congress after a certain period to withhold appropriated funds. The Trump administration was approaching the deadline of notification for Ukraine. OMB officials were concerned and scrambling to put together the proper notification to Congress in the recent released emails.

If presidents choose to completely withhold money they must have the approval of Congress.

Fans of executive power have President Nixon to thank for all of that.

I said Trump was the answer to Obama. We agreed on that.

Do you see the other impeachment scandals as attempts to overturn elections?
