Fair enough. Although you could also take money from the pentagon, and back-door in a program through a different department to support the soldiers. Maybe send them big checks with “Democrats support the troops” on them.
I’m also kind confused how misappropriation of funds isn’t a crime. If Congress explicitly tells you not to do something, and you do it, how is that not breaking the law?
This is what impeachment is for. In fact, impeachment for withholding funds was already successful but the votes weren’t there in the Senate for removal the first time round.
The problem is with reps having blind loyalty to a party and not to their oath of upholding the Constitution or providing a check on executive overreach.

Good solution!
