Yes. Congress appropriates funding. And does an amazing job of spending it too. But not without Executive approval.
He is still charge, right??

since it's part of the deal made two years ago, i don't know if it can be changed. also, presidents don't have line item veto, so he couldn't draw a line thru just that.
at any rate, a bit disingenuous to say 'obama' is sending them. the u.s. is sending them as part of a deal made in '10.
what reason would there be not to send? egypt ostensibly remains an ally. and i see in the article, that 'some' suggest it's a bad move. which means others don't.
