The facts are that she met with the heads of state of foreign nations and US military leaders.

I dont see any reason to abandon those trips because some partisan republican hacks are whining about fiscal responsibility.

Foreign policy oversight is also a responsibility of Congress.

Fact is she was on a tax-payer funded junket to visit the land of her ancestors, be lavished with dinners, framed birth certificates of her grandparents, visit museums, and the other visits with the pope were a minor part of the trip. Why Italy? Why not Germany? Or Pakistan? It is because of her heritage. It was nothing more than a taxpayer vacation. She does not and cannot set National Policy on our relationships with Italy. Keep making excuses for her.
