Good thing we went to the trouble of gaining control of the house and senate last (s)election then. HUH?

The one big power that congress has is the power of the purse. They could have constrained Obama long ago but completely neglected to do so. And now they complain (after they abdicated their authority) that he’s spending money without proper authorization.

The House should have put the brakes on Obama’s reckless spending but they failed to do so. The Senate should never have allowed the Iran deal to be characterized as an agreement instead of a treaty that required 2/3 approval. When you allow someone to take an inch, they usually will take a mile.
