Lawmakers block Pentagon move to transfer $1 billion for Trump's border wall

I thought the President commanded the DoD and the military itself........so it's up to them. Schiff can go fuck himself.

Exactly. For his next trick Schiff will set the value of PI to 3.0

Yeah the 3.14 (and that's rounded) is too tough for lefties, they cant pass the ACT......here comes Schiff "fixing" the issue!

You have to laugh at these clowns. Schiff for brains believes he commands the armed forces. Apparently he doesn't understand how our government works.

Lawmakers block Pentagon move to transfer $1 billion for Trump's border wall​

Lawmakers blocked the Department of Defense's move to transfer $1 billion for the construction of a physical barrier along the US-Mexico border, the latest showdown in the battle over the border wall that President Trump has vowed to build.

On Monday, the Pentagon authorized the transfer of funds to Army engineers for projects along the border, which include building 57 miles of 18-foot-high fencing, constructing and improving roads, and installing lighting in support of Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol. The move was carried out under the president's declaration of a national emergency, the department said in a statement.

As Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan was testifying before his committee, Rep. Adam Smith, the Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, released a letter denying the Pentagon's move to reprogram $1 billion.

"The House Committee on Armed Services has completed its review of the proposed reprogramming request," Smith's letter read, according to a copy obtained by Military Times. "The committee denies this request."

In a more detailed statement, Smith called the Department of Defense's decision to reprogram $1 billion without Congressional approval a violation of trust. "DoD is attempting to circumvent Congress and the American people's opposition to using taxpayer money for the construction of an unnecessary wall."​

Seems that Congress has the power of the purse....but you never did care for the Constitution did you

So how did Obama give $150 billion to Iran?

It was not our money, that is how.

Congress controls the purse strings. You should ready the constitution some time.

Trump said he was going to make Mexico pay for his border wall.

Trump said he was going to make Mexico pay for his border wall.

Let's put a tax on tequila and soccer tickets so Mexican-Americans pay for the wall. Problem solved.
