American soldiers would have been killed had your plan to occupy Iraq in 1991 had happened according to your theory of "finishing" it

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, that's exactly what I was fighting for the right to decide for yourself. In fact that's what makes America great not the words these Politicians spot and the majority of the public swallow. 

That not a slogan for me it's a way of life.

Just curious...

Had George HW Bush decided in 1991 to invade Iraq and occupy their country until a new government was formed would any American soldiers  be killed during the process?

Like I said in the last post about 1993, the answer would be exactly the same. So please answer a question honestly for me what is you agenda. That's not much to ask considering my honest and complete answers to you.

Lichtenstein once went to war with one of its neighbours and sent 80 men. 81 returned home because they found a lost trader on the way.

You've been given the statute; but, you're insinuating that co-equal means exemption from law.  The GAO is investigating as required under the same statute.  The conversation is happening but you've got your fingers in your ears.

If it's so slam-dunk, why hasn't it been trumpeted by the jackals in the media?  It isn't like they've been shy of telling us ad nauseum that "THIS is the Big One!"  So?  Maybe it's because they know that a trial based on that statute would convict every president who ever takes the oath of office?  You're being ridiculous.  I'll state it again for the record.  CO-EQUAL means one branch cannot dictate to another without the "other" having recourse.  When these conflicts come up we have what is referred to as "Constitutional Crises"

My guess is that even if he were found to have broken a law that infringes on presidential power, the USSC would side with him.

Cool opinion. 

You asked for a statute.  I gave it you.

Now your turn to return the courtesy.  Do you have a precedent where it was determined to be OK for the President  to act contrary to a statute that explicitly lays out the requirement of President?

You also said that Obama breached the ICA.  Do you have that example?  Indeed, you have any example where the President breached the ICA?

Have you not noticed how long some people have been members here? We have been exposed to these people's opinions for a very long time and still manage to have fairly civil conversations, which is something you seem to be unable to do.

This isn't boot camp and you don't have carte blanche to berate anyone you disagree with. Give it a rest, Sergeant Carter.

I could really careless how long some one has been a member here. To be civil is a two way street, you get what you give, and I certainly don't berate everyone I disagree with. But I am certainly no ones floor Matt either, so maybe you should give it a rest, or read the entire thread before you give an opinion.

Miss Michelle.

Rest assured...I've been following it all evening. If anyone says anything you disagree with you spend the next two pages insulting them.

"Miss Michelle" is a veiled insult from another post where I was kidding you.

Or the many Whitehouse YouTube channel full length videos of Trump chairing various roundtable discussion topics.  

He's very respectful of individuals and a great listener.  Those videos I look forward to the most.

The Rally's are fun.  Trump's hilarious. 

Most who tune out only see snipets from "trusted" sources and base their entire opinion on those snips.  

He came to Mobile AND Pensacola in 2016 and I missed BOTH.  I'm sure he'll be back in P'cola next year and I can't wait to take part!

  The idea that a U.S. president cannot make a decision to withold Federal aid to a foreign country is preposterous.  Possibly, just a guess, other presidents refused to go against their State Dept. Overlords.  Regardless of that issue:

 2 U.S.C. Section 684 or 2 U.S.C. Section 683, the Impoundment Control Act, the President has the power to propose deferring funds on a temporary basis or rescinding them altogether, subject to Congressional approval.

So it appears that unless he was asking for a deferment or a recission of the aid, he didn't need Congressional approval.  The only stipulation being that a president cannot "hold" money until that budget expires thus removing Congress from the loop.  He clearly did not do that.

Also, try as hard as you like, he released the funds and received nothing in return.  One can attach an unlimited number of motives to a political adversary but proving them is another matter.  The idea that stepping on Congressional authority is somehow unheard of and Impeachable is ridiculous.  Obama did so for nearly 8 years by ignoring Republicans in Congress and doing as he pleased through executive action.

[+and-then]

 

Last year, GAO asked OMB General Counsel Mark Paoletta for his views on that question, and he submitted them in Nov. 2018, stating, “the text of Impoundment Control Act clearly allows the President to propose and withhold funds at any time in a fiscal year. In addition to the unambiguous statutory language, there is bipartisan historical precedent for the President to withhold funds at any time of the fiscal year, including in instances where funds proposed for rescission have lapsed prior to the expiration of the 45-day withholding period.”
