Uh oh, no military aircraft for congress but Melania gets to go to Palm Beach. Once again, these guys just cannot get out of their own way...
Ate you claiming that the legislative branch suddenly owns meeting with foreign leaders and setting policy? This is the purpose of the Executive branch and the State Department; not of members of Congress. The trip is nothing more than an expensive boondoogle to push the speaker's political agenda. Let the DNC pay for it.
The house has the power of the purse and oversight over those funds. It is entirely appropriate for congress to meet with our allies and visit military locations. Please don’t do that thing Tao does where he suspends his own common sense in hopes of getting the upper hand in a conversation.
Owns it no. However they are the branch that declares war,must approve military action and must fund military actions so they can take a role in foreign policy.
True, but I am not sure that most Americans read the forum here so I am willing to take that risk if you post the pics. Not sure that Americans seeing Bob Menendez in a bathing suit on the beach in Puerto Rico was net positive for the dems either. Just hope he did not scare the locals.
hey dumbass, give yourself a break from trump and NRA erotica and read about the oversight functions of the Congress. "Congressional oversight refers to oversight by the United States Congress of the Executive Branch, including the numerous U.S. federal agencies. Congressional oversight refers to the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy implementation."
