Comment: The President, as OCTS has repeatedly reported, is dishonestly and illegally using federal monies to illegally disguise the actual cost of his disastrous program.
“The Constitution, [U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary M.] Collyer wrote, “could not be more clear: ‘No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of Appropriations made by Law.’ Neither the president nor his officers can authorize appropriations; the assent of the House of Representatives is required before any public monies are spent.”
“Republicans had argued the Obama administration violated the Constitution by spending money on Obamacare without Congressional approval. House Democrats had called the Republicans’ suit “a political stunt.” The suit focuses on the $175 billion Obama wants to spend as part of a cost-sharing program with health insurance companies.“
