In the wake of the two-year budget deal the former House Speaker John Boehner negotiated with the Obama White House, Congress still needs to enact appropriations legislation to keep the government funded after the current continuing resolution expires on Dec. 11.

“We’re opening up the process,” Ryan said, with “lots of amendments considered by all members from both parties.”

Yeah, being a rubber stamp for the executive is exercise of enumerated powers according to the RINO faction.

We’ll see if his negotiation goes beyond,

Power of the purse? Obama has arrogated to himself the power of the pen and the phone - soon the jackboot,

The power of the purse is exercised by refusing to fund, not by clawing back money. Unfortunately, Ryan voted for the recent 2 year budget and the borrowing authority. He abrogated the power of the purse, and he knew he was doing it.
