The US Congress has a problem.

The US Billionaire President has over spent the budget the American people has set for him.

The U.S. Secret Service (click here) is bumping up against statutory limits on overtime pay, as it struggles to provide protection for President Trump and his globe-trotting family.

Agency officials estimate more than 1,000 agents and officers will log more overtime this year than allowed by law. The same thing happened in 2016, and Congress eventually passed a workaround. The agency hoped for some relief once the busy election season was over, but overtime bills have continued to mount....

This is not a surprise. The New York Times has been reporting on the expenses since President Trump took office.

President Trump is going to have to realize he is not being sponsored by The Trump Organization anymore. The American people have a budget set for these departments. The Secret Service needs their salary and no one should be expecting them to volunteer. If the USA thinks it has a problem with Russia now, wait until the Secret Service is on a volunteer basis.

The US Congress and the Secret Service has to set up a strategic plan for protecting the President and those in need of their services and stay within budget. The US Congress needs to pass a bill to enforce the strategy and the budget. The President will veto it and Congress has to be prepared to override it.
