With Election Day near we should be aware of the Left’s priorities most especially when it is supported by action. Their priorities added to their basic lack of understanding of the separation of powers help us see useful facts when making Election Day decisions. In trying to help the Left on Election Day, Eliot Engel, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Democrat from New York has taken a stand on illegal immigration.
The president said he would cut off foreign aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras if they aided or failed to curtail the caravan of illegal immigrants headed north. Engel believes the President lacks the authority to make that decision. The Washington Examiner reports Engel said, “Trump lacks the authority to make those decisions unilaterally due to a law called the Impoundment Control Act… Fortunately, Congress — not the president — has the power of the purse, and my colleagues and I will not stand idly by as this administration ignores congressional intent.”
