Just submit a budget with the same numbers as last year. Spending is frozen. He's the budgeteer in chief. We spent $l10UMQB* last year for Interior, we spend $110UMQB this year. Doesn't take any Congressional action on any freeze, except to vote on the budget. Give us the budget, don't dump it on Congress.
(Then tell DOI to spend UMB out of existing budget (maintenance and fuel budgets, eh?) to install windmills or whatever, cuz that's what CEOs do; they tell the assistant head loonies in charge what they have to do and how much they have to do it with, and let them figure out how to do it.)

"He's just posturing now.

Obama? Again, I am not sure what you are referring to."

Passing the buck to Congress. He needs to take a stand, not look for resolutions and bills.
