Mr. Amash, this attitude isn’t helping the people you represent understand why they are wrong, as you say. You’d do better actually EXPLAINING it to people, rather than INSULTING them. You are acting like an elitist liberal. Disappointing.

He's has explained at length. He's been explaining since the bill was signed and is probably a little perturbed by now that "Joe Internet Expert" thinks he knows more about procedure and law than a sitting congressman who is also a lawyer.

Let me tell you, people are much smarter than you are giving credit! We the People have done extensive research and have educated ourselves! If you are trusting only the word of elected officials then you are part of the problem! Hence, we voted to
#MAGA !!!! -
If Republicans did research they wouldn't have nominated Trump.

Absolutely not true!

It's not a hoax, it's how government is supposed to function in this country. You, as a representative of Congress, should already know that and respect it. The fact that you don't is proof that you are not doing the job you were elected to do, whether deliberate or not.

Except it's not how it works, and you are clearly uneducated.

What do you have to say about this, Mr Amash? Congress itself voted in an amended Rule that allows the Pentagon to use funds to build the Wall. President Trump declared a Nat. Emergency due to human trafficking in Dec. Now the funds have been appropriated.https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.longroom.com%2Fdiscussion%2F948845%2Fbuilding-a-wall-in-the-dark%3Ahqi4NLfMwPmhaC-2x7YsJs6XJ5g&cuid=4190702 …

Auburn girl, no one is incorrect, Amash's comment related to initial nonsense claim that Trump can spend any of the money as he pleased (ex. Money designated to bailout Obamacare etc.) because it was an Omnibus spending bill - He cannot. These would be funds allocated for defense
-
I understand that he can't spend the money freely. There are rules and guildlines he must adhere to, but Congress voting that the Pentagon can build a Wall, the Army corp of Engs being under the Dept of Defense, & Emergency spending being allowed during a declared Nat. ...
-
...Emergency, seems to give him the power needed. Trump declared a Nat Emerg. in Dec on human trafficking that's rampant at the border. Border protection is part of our Nat. Defense. The Pentagon has the money, the permission, and the emergency has been declared!

However, don't know if we should get too excited. Military has been decimated over 8 years of Obama and pathetic loser McConnellhttps://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/27/pentagon-faces-tough-spending-decisions/ …

Just think of how well we could have built up the military, With the trillions of $ wasted on the Republican idiot Bush's BS wars. That's an opportunity we'll never get back.

I strongly opposed Bush's nation building BS, but Aaron either you posses the intellectual heft of an 11 year old or you hate America -for no one with a scintilla of brain power would ever lavish such praise for a communist crackpot all over his twitter page

Could the President use section 1012 of the Budget Act of 1974 to notify congress of an intent to spend less money than appropriated? Would a Joint Resolution require 60 Senate votes or 51?
-
Chances of Trump spending less than allocated - 0

Do people really believe that crap? Hey, Congress's appropriations are just a suggestion...the President can really do whatever he wants. What happened to civics class in schools? Ugh.

You beat me to it- and unfortunately, most of the teachers I know are PROFOUNDLY ignorant of that.

Sadly, true. My son is in 6th grade and they have not covered anything at all on our government - even the basics.

Most Americans can’t even name all three branches. This is how you get the deep state.
