All bills for raising of revenue shall originate in the House.

Only Congress is authorized to spend money. Not the POTUS.

Maybe if he sold arms to Iran, he could use the funds for whatever he wanted, right?????/s

He still has authorizations that the democrats gave him when they had control.

What he doesn't have is the ability to increase the debt limit. That's the Republicans Ace card at this point. That's his constraining factor. And apparently borrowing from the SSA and Medicare funds must not fall under that debt limit.
