an eleventh-hour move that allows the government to exceed the current $400 billion cap on emergency aid without seeking permission from a bailout-weary Congress.

How can the executive branch exceed spending limits without appropriation and authorization from congress? Where is the authorization and appropriation for the spending?

Even the dimowit communists leading congress have to be smart enough to see this as an unconstitutional power grab by the executive branch.

He is ASSUMING that Congress will still be in the hands of Democrats.

This budget-busting, USA-destroying spending binge will continue until America wakes up and throws the bums out of office.
