I am concerned that the house has the perrogative to go beyond congressionally approved budgets (meaning both houses) to hire outside legal teams in a case such as this.

Why did both the decision to Defend, and the Budgetary Portion, not require approval of the House AND the Senate?

Can the House legally spend monies that are not approved for expenditures that are not specifically for House Business?
