The power of a de facto repeal has always been within the ability of the Republican controlled House. All they had to do was to not fund it.

Isn't this kinda like issuing Executive Orders to circumvent the laws? Couldn't the House use this to defund anything they disagreed with?

the president refused to sign anything that didn’t include funding for everything. The government shut down, the republicans caved.

We went that route.

Yes.

That’s the way the Founders set it up.

That’s the ultimate Constitutional fix.
