Interesting that the House of Representatives, which shares fiscal responsibility with the Senate, has the authority to call a cease fire in a foreign country, if the United States had nothing financially to do with funding either Israel or Hamas. Technically, the United States would have to admit that they financed the war to begin with to authentically call a cease fire in either Israel or Gaza. Civics 101, y'all.
The House doesn't share fiscal responsibility. All spending bills must originate in the House. The Senate has to vote on the bills, but they can't originate any fiscal bills.
Sorry should have clarified! Lol thanks. But yes, point still stands, if the US isn't sponsoring the conflict, then why does their vote matter to Israel for a cease fire?
