I see a lot of problems with that if the Exec is tasked with protection the US, seeing laws are obeyed, looking out for the common good, etc. An unfunded Executive Branch cannot carry out those responsibilities.
It is pretty clear where rule of law, separation of power, and democracy talk was when Obama was president--it emanated from GOP members who accused Obama of executive overreach when, given the Congressional inaction, he used Executive Orders and Agreements to govern.

If President Trump is truly the only cause for the government shutdown and it truly is a crisis as you have painted it out to be why doesn’t the House and Senate pass a budget and when he vetoes it, turn around and override the veto with a 2/3rds vote?
That’s right that’ll never happen in the Senate will it. There must be Senators who are willing to stand for what they believe in rather than playing BS political games. Or maybe they are all Russian owned traitors as well who just want to see this country burn to ashes.
