Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today, I introduced a budget amendment with @SenatorLeahy that would have stopped the diversion of military funds to the President’s ineffective border wall. Senate Republicans voted it down in a party-line vote, 15-16. — PolitiTweet.org

According to our Constitution, Congress holds the power of the purse – not the President. When Congress appropriates funds, we should believe that it actually means something – that no President, Republican or Democrat, can simply ignore us for their own selfish purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

This move – now sanctioned by GOP Senators – to bypass Congress in order to divert these funds is unacceptable. Unless Congress can stand up & defend its role as defined by our Constitution, I fear that our work will be undermined by this President & by future Administrations. — PolitiTweet.org
