How Obama Breaks the Law

___The peoples' elected representatives in the House determine a need and pass a law appropriating funds to meet the need. The Executive spends the money as the law specifies.

___Last week, the Senate passed legislation to address and prevent the spread of the Zika virus. However, the Senate failed to pay for it, and instead approved a $1.1 billion “emergency”* spending supplemental bill that is not subject to the budgetary caps that were agreed to last year.

___Obama took $500M for Zika to Finance UN’s Green Climate Fund. This is illegal and follows the pattern used since taking office in January 2009.

* In a population of over 323 million, less than 1000 have been affected - mostly by sexual contact since mosquitoes are well-controlled.
