This Rep from Texas was new on the job as appropriations chair and found in documents he alone had the power of the purse. He told DOJ they had to follow the law or he would cut their budget. He stopped the sanctuary cities - told Loretta Lynch to uphold the law or she would lose funding for the top earners at the DOJ, but he would still fund the border patrol.

Lynch complied- the link below has hypertext links to videos of the hearing and letter from the DOJ.

The question is, how long has someone had this power in the House of Representatives and not utilized it?

Kudos to this congressman, please send him a word of thanks! (Use contact tab) http://culberson.house.gov/

There is no Power of the Purse.

There is only the Power of the Lie.

Scary....that a long time Congressman is just finding out about the HOR’s power of the purse. Even our Congress is being dumbed down, now? Yikes.

Look how well that power of the purse thing worked out with 0Care and PP. Aren’t they both still being funded??

Sorry to sound so cynical....just can’t overlook recent history :(

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

He’s not just finding out about it, but he’s pretending to. Must have Dim opposition in the general election.

Even if we assume, only for the sake of discussion, that he’s serious, the rest of the Pubbies in the Congress won’t go along with him. In fact, he’s not serious and knows he can safely say this kind of thing. He probably cleared it with Ryan before making a statement.

Whenifhow, you are rocking the forum with this!

So the House Approprirations Chair used UNILATERAL purse string powers to defund sanctuary cities, and Obama’s AG complied??!!

I’ll post more on this. Incredible implications.
