If Midterms Go Up Trump Congress, Democrats May Force New Funding for Ukraine - Judge Andrew Napolitano “Congress has the power of the purse, and it goes both ways. Congress can limit how the president spends money, but they can also force the president to spend money," the American journalist and legal expert told Sputnik. "Now, the president must be forced to spend money that he does not want to spend, for example, to give more cash to the most corrupt regime on the planet, which will be in Kiev," he explained. "If Trump refuses to do that, there are Supreme Court cases where Congress can force his hand. ".
