The Patriot Post® · Gowdy on the Power of the Purse

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) lit up the House floor talking about taking on Barack Obama’s executive amnesty. “This is not a fight between Republicans and Democrats,” Gowdy declared. “It’s not even a fight over immigration reform. This is a fight over whether this branch of government will ever find the courage to stand up for itself. The same document that this and all presidents swear to defend gives this body certain tools. Tools like the power of the purse. And it’s about damn time we use that tool.”
