And the State Department can do whatever it wants. Why would Congress have oversight of a routine maintenance issue for the Executive Branch? They can fly all the pride flags they want and no one can stop them.

The House's budget power only exists until the item is purchased. It's actually not very strong. Literally how are they going to enforce this? The Justice Department will be defending the State Department. The House will have... who?

The House will have… who?

Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch.....

The House should be about to pass laws that curtail the rights of the executive branch. This is a key part of the system of checks and balances.
