he also promised to pay Fisher House back when the gubment opens the coffers again....

 

which is against the law. 

 

the president cannot promise to pay anything without the people's consent.

 

Of course we'd approve it, but still, he violated the law in making that commitment in such a manner...

 

he does NOT have that authority.

He should present each one of these families their check in person with an apology on national television.

 

That apology should include every single one of the Tea Party/republican  congressmen from both senate and house that started this government shutdown.
