Its the same bill that now requires women to sign up for the draft.

And a budget bill puts the "majority of government behind bars", how?

So, your answer is no. The bill does not put the "majority of government behind bars".
How about that women draft thing? Does it do that?

Yeah, sure. Vague and all that.
How about that women draft thing? What's the actual law say?
I see where you are going with this and respectfully request that you consider being less elusive in response to minimize the number of replies it takes to decipher your response.

They don't only hack the Dems. It's just that the republicans don't have any recent dirt worth revealing. Apart from Donald's pussy grabbing of course...

I wonder why they only hack the Democrats. If it was Russia doing it why only pick on one side. Maybe all the hackers are Republicans. Hmmm

May be time for those hackers to check out the media.

I'm not going anywhere. I'm asking you to be more clear in your claims. I'm asking you to prove your point.
So far you have failed, quite miserably, to do so.
President Obama has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.
By issuing his directives as "memoranda" rather than executive orders, Obama has downplayed the extent of his executive actions
Obama has issued executive orders to give federal employees the day after Christmas off, to impose economic sanctions and to determine how national secrets are classified. He's used presidential memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations. Tuesday, he used a memorandum to declare Bristol Bay, Alaska, off-limits to oil and gas exploration.
Like executive orders, presidential memoranda don't require action by Congress. They have the same force of law as executive orders and often have consequences just as far-reaching. And some of the most significant actions of the Obama presidency have come not by executive order but by presidential memoranda.
Whatever they're called, Obama has been less prolific than his predecessors. George W. Bush issued 66 such orders, plus 25 more Homeland Security Presidential Directives. President Reagan issued at least 325.
Some, going back as far as the Lyndon Johnson administration, remain classified.
they must be published in the Federal Register to be effective —- PPDs are not," he said. "It is a kind of secret law. People have to obey it. But it's a directive that can allocate money, direct people or take a course of action."
The hostage policy was originally released Wednesday as a presidential policy directive numbered PPD-29. When the White House corrected that number to PPD-30, it meant Obama had issued a secret directive as PPD-29 sometime in the past 17 months.
Obama signed PPD-28, an order on electronic eavesdropping in the wake of revelations by Edward Snowden, in January 2014.
So what is PPD-29? No one's talking. A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment of the existence of classified PPDs
"The only reason we know about it is the sequential numbering of the directives, and realizing they skipped a few," said Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, which tracks the directives.
PPD-29 isn't the first to be tacitly acknowledged only by a missing number. Of the 30 PPDs issued by Obama, 19 have not been released. And for 11 of those, the White House has not disclosed even the subject of the order.

The DNS controls were turned over to the UN, therefore...
False.
Therefore the remainder of your post is irrelevant.
False.
The only requirement of the section (b) 2 amendment added under Obama in 2012 is to "allege" (because no evidence is required to detain) that someone is tied to terrorism against the United States, and there is absolutely nothing exempting US Citizens, thereby violating the Bill of Rights 5th and 6th amendments.
(b) COVERED PERSONS. — A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
(e) . . . Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.
(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
