House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday asserted that President Donald Trump’s move to defund the World Health Organization (WHO) “is dangerous, illegal and will be swiftly challenged.”

Pelosi made the remarks in a statement after the president announced on Tuesday that funds for the WHO would be frozen.

“The President’s halting of funding to the WHO as it leads the global fight against the coronavirus is senseless,” Pelosi said. “But sadly, as he has since Day One, the President is ignoring global health experts, disregarding science and undermining the heroes fighting on the frontline, at great right to the lives and livelihoods of Americans and people around the world."

... but who can hold him accountable? Can’t impeach him, can’t investigate him, no I.G.’s to report to congress and the Supreme Court won’t hear a case against him until after the election.
Better to spend time developing a system to enforce the laws that we have.
