Republican senators are accusing the Obama Administration of misusing taxpayer dollars by green-lighting $500 million for a United Nations climate change program without first obtaining congressional approval.
The senators now are demanding the department justify the “cloak-and-dagger” contribution to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – even threatening legal action.
“Lawyers cannot replace the constitutional requirement that only Congress who represent the people can appropriate money,” Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said. "The Obama Administration is waving a magic wand and writing a half-billion dollar check to a Green Climate UN Fund that they admit was never authorized by Congress.”
