neither defending nor condemning the practice, Senators of all parties have had the "hold" privilege w/regard to appointments for a century or more, whereas the Constitution clearly states the primacy of the House as initiator of ALL spending. I do not find a Constitutuional clause empowering the President to impound, sequester, or in any other manner, refuse to spend funds appropriated by the House (and Senate).
