Lets just see how a majority in both houses defend not giving it to him, if they dare.
The line-item veto is unconstitutional

Trump signed on omnibus bill. He did not sign a budget. It's different. He can spend the money. Or not. Or he can do what O'Dummy did, viz. spend it on other things. And Congress didn't stop O'Dummy. There's a precedent here.

Not as long as congress has the opportunity to override it like all other vetoes. I'm of the opinion to let them give it a go. YMMV.The line-item veto is unconstitutional
Incorrect. In the federal system "a budget" does not authorize actual spending...it's just a plan or framework. "Appropriations" or spending bills are what authorizes money to be spent. That's what he signed. It has the force of law.
The president cannot take money that is allocated for one agency and shift it to another. He has latitude on spending or not spending but he can't take allocated money from, for example, the DoD and give it to the FBI.
This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget.. An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some 'instructions' as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn't spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn't do a thing about it! Because they couldn't..
I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those 'appropriations' for different things in these Omnibus bills…are merely 'suggestions'. So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it.
President Trump tweeted something very suggestive this morning, indicating that he may use the powers of the executive to work around the $1.3 trillion abomination’s limitations on the border wall: Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2018
Wrong. Obama did that very thing and Congress didn't say a word. Shipping containers full of cash ended up in the coffers of our enemies while everybody was wondering what the Great Disappointment was doing with the money in the bill. Trump knows this. Trump was watching the Chicago Grifter abuse the system. And Trump knows that's now a precedent.
Dennis they know that we know. They just don’t care. The government is so corrupt things are never gonna be good again unless we physically do something to enact positive change. And people in this county are too busy living their lives to even care or notice. People like us are too few and far between to make any kind of a difference. We can send emails and call till the cows come home and nothing will change. Our reps and senators don’t give a rats rear about us. More and more of our rights are gonna be infringed upon until they are gone forever. That is the governments goal. It isn’t just a Democrat thing. It’s our entire government. They all need to go. We can’t trust any of them. Our 2A is under heavy assault and people in the gun community act like it’s not happening. Or they make jokes about it. Or I get told I’m paranoid and it won’t ever happen. It IS happening for the millionth time. I guess we will all just sit here and complain while our country implodes.Well, the Senate just passed it to avoid the huge crisis of another government shutdown......
Good lord do they think we are totally stupid and don't see what they are doing?

The President is not a dictator, and he is not in charge of the appropriation and allocation of federal funds...even if you like him. Don't forget, if you cheer for the President to have this kind of authority, you just might be well and truly F*cd when someone you don't like comes into power.
type of president we've had. Escalating until Jorge Busho destroys the Republican party and O'Bunghole finishes what Bush started. Now we've got a pro America conservative and you're bent out of shape.only
