    In case you haven't noticed, the last 4 Presidents have pretty much
    ignored that section, as well as the rules for creating Executive Orders.

    The money was already authorized by Congress, and Biden is simply drawing
    down from it. Think of it as drawing from a line of credit.

    The use of the Presidential Drawdown Authority to direct a drawdown to
    provide military assistance under section 506(a)of the Foreign
    Assistance Act (FAA) is a valuable tool of U.S. foreign policy in
    crisis situations. It allows for the speedy delivery of defense
    articles and services from Department of Defense stocks to foreign
    countries and international organizations to respond to unforeseen
    emergencies. Such assistance can begin arriving within days—or even
    hours—of approval.

    See section 506(a)(1) of the Foreign Assistance Act, 22 U.S.C. 2318(a)
