The Senate has approved legislation to provide benefits to the families of fallen troops.
The Senate backed the measure Thursday, after the House approved it unanimously a day earlier.
The Pentagon typically pays out $100,000 within three days of a soldier's death. But officials say the shutdown means there's no authority now to pay the money.
That's a point of dispute with members of Congress who argue that the benefits should not be affected.
Facing controversy, the
Scumbag liars in the White House. Fisher House has enough to do, and they do it very well, without picking up government stupidity baggage as well. Funds for payment of military death benefits were already obligated prior to the "shutdown"...now Obama apparently is going to disagree with his entire Senate and Congress. President Princess Peacock is a punk. A lying punk.
Progressive Slayer all Night Aridog
now WHY WONT THE SENATE PASS THE OTHER BILLS THAT WOULD OPEN UP THE GOVT???ATTACK THE SENATE FOR KEEPING THE GOVT CLOSED AND CALLING PEOPLE TERRORISTS IN THE SAME BREATH!!!
I_Go_Pogo Aridog obama's only interest is to fulfill the ' Dreams From My Father '. He is like the shop-keeper in 'Needful Things' - He's a stranger with a murky past who sets up a curio shop, and convinces assorted townsfolk that he has what they want. But what they actually get is something altogether different. Envy, division, and hatred ensue, leading to death and destruction. " MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" , obama!Kyle Aridog Just more evidence this President has no clue how to lead, lacks judgment when deciding the right thing to do, but puts politics above the country. Responsible presidents do not allow bad things to happen to fellow countrymen. This will haunt the democrat party for many years to come. Republican party has its problems but exponentially the democrat party has more problems and is the most despicable of the two party's.
Ferrell Gummitt The moment, the very moment the President found about the death benefits two things should have happened:
1) An Executive Order issued to resume the death benefits IMMEDIATELY by the President.
2) Chuck Hagel's head on a platter.
But hey this is Obama he got his minions watching his back...
SAD...TexBill Ferrell Gummitt Aren't you assuming that the pos didn't specifically tell Hagel to do it? That assumption might be wrong.P. Nym Ferrell Gummitt Executive orders are unconstitutional unless it relates to hiring/firing executive personnel.myakka54 P. Nym since when does the constitution matter to O? He did recess appt's when Congress was in session, changed Obamacare unilaterally, passed the Dream Act unilaterally. fired the Pres of a private company etc. Since when does a negative piece of paper, his words, stand in his way?-
Grendel007 P. Nym Which would mean 99% of his executive orders are therefore unconstitutional
