be. **Here is another fact, neither of those two things will Make America
Great Again. *

*Yes the Constitution is very clear about that, only the House Of
Representatives can propose a budget, but the Constitution matters very
little thanks to our current Supreme Court. HELL, 3 of the justices voted
against birthright citizenship! The Constitution is equally clear that only
Congress can declare war; BUT they haven't done that since 1941,  and yet
the US has been at war with somebody for most of the time since then and
110,000 American soldiers have died in combat AFTER the end of World War
II.  *

*Unfortunately what the Constitution does and does not say matters very
little these days.*
