They sure as hell do have the right. They can complain about it if they didn't vote to hand that power over and also try and take that power back like Paul is trying to do. You call it BS. Why? Someone dare challenge dear leader?
Congress can allocate as many dollars as they like for any purpose during budget consideration. They can mandate that some be spent here, and some be spent there if they so choose. Or, as the typically do, they can allocate dollars and leave it up to the discretion of the Executive branch to spend that money on whatever they like, within parameters set by the budget resolution.
What time line? I dont care which president or party does the waste. I care that it is wasted.
They had the nearly Billion dollars three months in their pockets before the Israeli attack on Gaza. Unlike Israel there are no strings attached to the money the PA gets. And then after the war they got another $10 Million to play with.

This is Government 101 stuff.
No sheet. That is exactly what Paul is saying he wants to NOT leave it up to the discretion of the executive branch like they did.
If it's government 101 stuff why were you screaming BS earlier? Once again your making no sense.

Rand Paul had his opportunity to convince his fellow Senators when the budget process was going forward. That he failed to do so is testament to his lack of persuasion. That he now criticizes the Executive Branch for a failure HE could have prevented were he a good enough Senator is a testament to his status as up and coming party hack.
I said BS to YOUR statement that the Executive branch controls the purse strings. It does not. If it has any discretion over how money is spent, it's only because the ultimate purse string holders in Congress gave them the right.
So your saying Rand failed in his effore because most of the senate are lapdogs. How could HE have prevented it? He's one senator out of a hundred. I guess he should go buy folks off like Obama did to get his healthcare bill passed.
Again your making absolutely no sense. That is exactly Paul's argument that congress needs to take that right back. Did you even watch the video of his speech in congress I put up? He pretty much spells it all out.
I'll ask you a simple question are you for funding these countries with taxpayer dollars that aren't protecting our embassies. Specifically the countries spelled out in that bill. A yes or no will suffice.

We have tried buying our friends and as history over and over shows, that never works out well.
