    Hilarious. We passed a law to stop exactly this and you think we’re not allowed to use it. So it’s your legal analysis that the President is allowed to just do whatever they want?

        Lmao. Those are different issues. This is still about respecting an existing law. A law that the DOD and State Department abide by for every other country we give aid to.

        Trying to force a report to Congress ain’t it.

        By the way, it seems old Senator Leahy himself wonders why Israel has always gotten a pass. If the executive doesn’t have to follow this law why have they set up such a drawn out and ineffective process just for Israel, while other countries don’t get such protections?
