So it looks like we got a lot of pork anyway.

[scruffy]

Take the war powers act.
Any violation of it can't be enforced against a sitting president.

Who gave the president war powers?

 

[Mr. Friscus]

I hate the idea of Billionaires deciding what is “pork”

What is all this money going to poor people?

Pork isn’t much objective. It’s BS added onto initial items trying to pass through congress.

You love being dominated and told what to do. You’re a democrat

 

[meaner gene]

What would we he gain from that?

Take if the president secretly sent troops into Syria. And didn't bother to tell congress.
It violates the war powers act (1973) but the USSC removed any enforcement mechanism.

Who gave the president war powers?

The constitution gave president war powers (short term) as commander in chief.
But reserved the power to declare war (long term) on congress.

They suggested that Trump won somehow. Read this groveling article by these clowns who get excited by the Establishment passing an absurd CR for which only the Dems would have paid a political price of government had shut down.

A masterclass? So successful that the Dems voted 100% in favor of it?

These idiots will be blaming EVERYONE but the fools who voted for repeated debt. You had your credit rating lowered just last year and everyone lines up with excitement to continue the failure pact.

The pages were cut down, but what about the actually costs? Was this another cost of "go ridiculously high and accept a nice $200B extra" of debt or printing of case while inflation continues to be funded by excess government spending?

The world needs to Trump of his first term because now he has nominees he can trust where he didn't then

DAVID MARCUS: De facto President Trump's handling of shutdown threat was a masterclass

Columnist David Marcus credits incoming Presidetn Trump with averting a government shutdown - while shedding 1,400 pages of wasteful pork from Congress's budget proposal.

Ok I have no idea who this David Marcus is. He doesn't work for Fox News nor is he a correspondent or a TV personality. He is the old president of Paypal. FNC posted his opinion, its not THEIR opinion.

Thanks for trying, though.

It's on their website lol, it's as close to being their opinion without them having to officially say "this is our opinion".

Its labeled an OPINION PIECE, meaning its the opinion of the columnist, not FNC. The WSJ posts opinions by tons of different people, doesn't mean they agree with them.

M & R have a couple of months to carve out some pork before they get another shot at it. I am hoping the incoming congress and admin surprise us all with some real fiscally responsible governing. They have the reins, no excuses.

Well at the very least we'll find out who the pickpockets are and the parasites and probably be shocked when we get the names.

I find it interesting that MJT only 3 years in is now worth about 20 million more than she was originally. I mean how does this shit happen?

Horseshit.

But reserved the power to declare war (long term) on congress.

Study history.

CONGRESS gave the president war powers.

CONGRESS has delegated a lot of the Peoples' powers to the Executive Branch.

 

[BackAgain]

It would a a good start.

However, better is yet to come.

Wrong. Congress can not delegate their powers to the executive branch.

See Clinton v. City of New York - Wikipedia

the six-justice majority that the line-item veto gave the President power over legislation unintended by the Constitution, and was therefore an overstep in their duties.

Nondelegation doctrine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The doctrine of nondelegation (or non-delegation principle) is the theory that one branch of government must not authorize another entity to exercise the power or function which it is constitutionally authorized to exercise itself. It is explicit or implicit in all written constitutions that impose a strict structural separation of powers. I

They can and they have.

States Rights is not a Congressional issue.

Yeah, MAGATs let one run free and make up their own rules individually and never raise taxes.

It's not states rights, it non-delegation of constitutional powers.

Nondelegation doctrine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Exemplifying the Court's legal reasoning on this matter, it ruled in the 1998 case Clinton v. City of New York that the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, which authorized the President to selectively void portions of appropriation bills, was a violation of the Presentment Clause, which sets forth the formalities governing the passage of legislation.

Huh?

 

[Woodznutz]

If you want a better congress, start voting for a better congress.
Stop voting for politicians that promise their constituents a lot of free government pork.

That would lead to one-term Congresspersons, or worse, vacancies.
