He buys companies and when he finds they have shitty contracts he wants to re-negotiate, he has a team of lawyers hold the other parties to the letter of the contract. Then he gets his way and renegotiates the contracts.
Right now he is still in the 'hold their feet to the fire' part and with the amount of laws on the books there is no end in sight unless the Libtards decide to negotiate a new deal.
It's so much more than that. Trump could decide that Ukraine's actions with the Bidens threatened the United States, and ordered a military strike. This is the executive power.
SEC. 503. ø22 U.S.C. 2311¿ GENERAL AUTHORITY.—(a) The
President is authorized to furnish military assistance, on such
terms and conditions as he may determine, to any friendly country
or international organization, the assisting of which the President
finds will strengthen the security of the United States and promote
world peace and which is otherwise eligible to receive such assistance,
by—
(1) acquiring from any source and providing (by loan or
grant) any defense article or defense service;
(2) assigning or detailing members of the Armed Forces of
the United States and other personnel of the Department of
Defense to perform duties of a non-combatant nature; or
(3) transferring such of the funds appropriated or otherwise
made available under this chapter as the President may
determine for assistance to a recipient country, to the account
in which funds for the procurement of defense articles and defense
services under section 21 and section 22 of the Arms Export
Control Act have been deposited for such recipient, to be
merged with such deposited funds, and to be used solely to
meet obligations of the recipient for payment for sales under
that Act.
I'm glad the information is being put out there, but sad that it needs to be... it used to be that the average American knew it was the Presidents prerogative.
Trump is used to this after doing it many times.
He buys companies and when he finds they have shitty contracts he wants to re-negotiate, he has a team of lawyers hold the other parties to the letter of the contract. Then he gets his way and renegotiates the contracts.
Right now he is still in the 'hold their feet to the fire' part and with the amount of laws on the books there is no end in sight unless the Libtards decide to negotiate a new deal.
Little Benny is a lying grifter who's only in it to keep people asleep from the grave danger this country is in. And to support his precious Israel.
war drums begin to play ....
bagpipe
The House doesn't even know what their own laws are. Quid pro quo isn't even illegal if you're the President. It's just a deal at that point.
It's so much more than that. Trump could decide that Ukraine's actions with the Bidens threatened the United States, and ordered a military strike. This is the executive power.
There is also this treaty https://www.congress.gov/treaty-document/106th-congress/16/document-text that allows the President to openly say, investigate X matter or we will not provide aide. So even if there was a textbook Quid pro quo, it’s still 100% legal, thanks to Slick Willy.
This is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, not 1980.
First sentence of section 3.

that's what I'm saying, how did they start an argument over something that's not even against the law.
that's what having the media gets you- a loud army of idiots that isnt actually that big.
Now do one for a vice president with holding foreign aide?
We need some military assistance to the Patriots of Virginia. That's where those Javelin anti-tank missiles should be headed.
lol okay guy
That opinion report was probably written by a biased individual.

The GAO got it wrong because they think Congressional appropriations are the same thing as actual laws in statutes. They're not.
the president sets foreign policy. its that simple
But muh GAO report! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Trump is above the law. Fuck the GAO.
He is in compliance with the law, just as he's always been. He is the most "by the book" President we've ever had.
