House Approps Chairman says defunding Obama's "exec amnesty" not Constitutionally possible: http://washex.am/1F81tI5 h/t @susanferrechio
@Gbowden41 @susanferrechio Twitter short hand. Requires a long explanation. You can't defund but could pass other bills changing statute.

@DavidMDrucker@susanferrechio His quote said it was impossible. Was he wrong or dishonest. POTUS can’t spend $ not authorized by Leg. 1/2 -
@Gbowden41@susanferrechio It's funded by direct fees paid to the executive branch, per the statute. Need to rewrite the statute. -
@DavidMDrucker@susanferrechio But spending can only be authorized by Congress. -
@Gbowden41@DavidMDrucker Yes, the argument is, that they would have to prohibit such spending in an authorizing measure, not approps bill. -
@susanferrechio Are you concerned about the WH and DOJ targeting a female reporter?Are you concerned about the call to her boss?
