OOPS!! Democrat ADMITS Trump DOES have the power to build the wall – WITHOUT Congress!!
[Rightscoop] Well this is interesting ‐ while libs are freaking out that Trump said earlier today that he has the power to build the border wall without Congress, one Democrat admitted that yes, he can do that.Seems POTUS has broad authority under the National Emergencies Act to undertake military construction projects if a national emergency is declared. So the question is not whether he is in possession of this power but rather whether it ought to be used this way. This is what Trump is best at ‐ figuring out how to ignore traditions and assumptions that keep others from pushing their political imprint. He does it all the time. What’s odd about this one is that he seemed like he got the idea from the reporter who asked him!! But, some might argue, that spending $5 billion might be beyond the scope of what emergency powers were intended. I’m sure they’ll say that. And he won’t care. Either way, libs are freaking the eff out at the very thought of it: Posted by: Besoeker 2019-01-06 |
