I was a Governor for eight years. I know a little bit about running a government, being the “Chief Executive” of bureaucracy.

And I can tell you this. If my government lawyers came to me and said, even though 83% of the government can remain open under a so-called “shutdown”, that I didn’t have the authority to pay the death benefits to families of fallen American service members, I WOULD FIND SOME NEW LAWYERS.
