While the representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the military were waiting for Lynch to wake up, Congressman Landon was already in the Congress Building.
He was waiting for a senator, a key member of the Military Appropriation Committee, a senator in Congress.
Lynch's "list" has been stuck here, even though the President used his privilege to allocate some funds to Lynch, Congress is still holding it up.
The President's privilege is indeed his privilege, but if the President could compel various committees in Congress to compromise just by using his privilege, these committees wouldn't need to exist.
Moreover, the funds allocated through the President's privilege will ultimately have to be reviewed by a separate committee for content evaluation.
Only the funds approved through this review process are deemed appropriate.
If they find it inappropriate, next year they might reduce the scope of the President's fiscal privilege.
