This clearly makes sense to a president used to doing pretty much whatever he wants with a budget. And the money -- around $30 billion for starters -- is certainly in the Pentagon’s till.

In addition, if the president tried to use defense funds to build his wall, he would certainly face significant political and legal pushback from Congress across both parties. Lawmakers clearly have only authorized $1.6 billion toward the wall, not the full price tag. As the saying in Washington goes, “The Executive Branch proposes, the Congress disposes.”
