Surely such a deal would have to be approved by Congress, right? Would they really have the votes?

That's the law. But Congress is abdicating much of it's power. The SCotUS defers to the WhiteHouse (ex:sides with the admin 90% of the time). The mechanisms that foster ethics in the 3 branches are being intentionally sabotaged by the majority in power.

I would campaign that the deal be fulfilled with private money instead of public funds.
(Or, to show - roots and consequences - that this should be the proper procedure.)

Why was it bad for Obama to release much less than this to assure the earlier joint agreement? We heard a lot about how bad that was. Pallets of cash they said, real bad.
