Limiting the President’s ability to block funds appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose must be a priority for ending the closure of the government this time. Why should Congress let the President ignore their allocation of funds? It is the job of Congress to allocate funds!

Get rid of billionaire bullies
Who can rid us of these meddlesome Oligarchs? (Thanks to Shakespeare for phrasing)
Only the American people can do it by passing a constitutional amendment that limits donations to elections. We must pressure our lawmakers of every stripe to vote for this amendment.
