How to use purse in a sentence?

  1. Lindsey Graham:

    To all of my colleague who think that this President cannot act without your approval you don't understand the way the Constitution works, here is your authority and your power to do something about it, the power of the purse. If you don't like what's he's going to do in the future or what he's doing now then you can defund these operations. That's the power of Congress.

  2. Ashley Jones:

    As a Black woman in America, racism is absolutely inescapable. It shows up in all the little places and all the big places and all the places you don't expect. Sometimes it's in a textbook. Sometimes it's in a purse grabbed as I walk by, sometimes it's in a question about my hair, my skin, if anyone believes we have even come close to solving issues of racism and discrimination, they're mistaken. If I'm afraid to go for a run, go buy a snack, go to sleep in my own bed behind my own locked door, we aren't finished working yet.

  3. Othello:

    Who steals my purse steals trash; But he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.

  4. Eliot Engel:

    Fortunately, Congress -- not the President -- has the power of the purse, and my colleagues and I will not stand idly by as this Administration ignores congressional intent.

  5. Senate Republican:

    The only method I know to deal with this, outside of legal proceedings, is the power of the purse string.
