So current border security is working? Is that what you are showing?
So then trump saw a national emergency for two years and did nothing about it and you are happy?
Also, Pelosi is correct. What canât be declared an emergency?
I live in an incredibly , annoyingly liberal townâŚI donât know single person who thinks that way.
Itâs a party thing not individual thing.
Must democrats want a secure border, few democrats in congress are concerned.
sorry, I donât followâŚyou think the people elating democrats want a secure border, but the people they elect donât?
And Pelosi is the major roadblock.
Seems Pelosi is at the heart of not properly funding enough judges to ensure quick return of illegals. Seems it was Pelosi who wants to reduce the number of people held from 47K to 40K, she would be a national emergency. People walk across the border unimpeded, seems a barrier/wall should at least slow the flow of illegals. Seems to work other places in the world.
Do you advocate doing nothing???
Congress passed the [National Emergencies Act] in 1976. The Act consolidated a hodgepodge of Congressionally-authorized presidential powers, while not specifically intruding into executive authority. Mostly, itâs a way to keep track of the myriad emergencies declared by various presidents, giving Congress a tool to count them and determine which ones are still in effect.
There are 31 Presidential Emergency Orders still in effect according to the Brennan Center. (I had no idea we had so many world-endangering emergencies.) They range from Jimmy Carterâs order blocking Iranian government property in 1979, to âBlocking Property of Certain Persons Contribut- ing to the Situation in Nicaraguaâ issued by President Trump in November 2018.
One of these emergencies was declared by Bill Clinton in 1995. Itâs titled âBlocking Assets and Prohibiting Transactions With Significant Narcotics Traffickers.â Of particular interest is Section 4.
Sec. 4. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to carry out this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out this order.
The IEEPA refers to the âInternational Emergency Economic Powers Actâ which is supported by 50 U.S. Code § 1702. Presidential authorities.

There are currently 31 active declared national emergencies over things that donât threaten a single American life or make crime victims of Americans.
He not only can do this he can most certainly justify it to the SCOTUS.

There may be a language in which this post would make sense but it isnât English.
How many appropriate money?
What is Sphincter of The House Nancy Pelosiâs take on Trump declaring a national emergency at the border? She says the next Democrat president will use a national emergency to force gun control down everyoneâs throat. They already tried to do that with operation Fast and Furious. But it backfired badly on them. Thatâs what Fast and Furious was all about, a staged national emergency to grab everyoneâs guns.
Heâs not appropriating money. Catch a clue somewhere and hang on for dear life.

How many of those 31 national emergencies involve appropriating or REappropriating funds?
Or forget the word âappropriateâ⌠how many involve additional funding?
People have forgotten how terrible the Omnibus Bill Trump signed was. He vowed ânever againâ after that, remember? Yet here we are again. Itâs not a shocker heâll sign it.
There is no appropriation, misappropriation, reappropriation of, or additional funding any kind.
The money has already been allotted and appropriated but as weâve discussed ad nauseam for whatever reason went unspent.
If you canât remember whatâs already been explained again and again go bother someone else.
The federal govât cant produce a single piece of code or paper, turn on a light switch, or make a phone call without spending money.

Well except for the fact that this is not that.
You have a hard time answering questionsâŚ
Of those 31 national emergencies⌠how many required funding?
Does the president have the power to spend money on something that congress didnât allow?
What part of the federal govât canât do anything that doesnât require funding is it you canât grasp?
Yes, the president has access to funds he can use under an emergency declaration as well as âswept fundsâ from the budget as we have already discussed.
Again if you canât remember whatâs already been discussed on a given subject over the last few days go bother someone else.
She made the campaign slogan for every Democrat Presidential candidate forever:
We ARE coming to ban your guns!
So congress can appropriate funds to a specific area and the president can redirect those funds to anywhere he sees fit? So long as it is an emergency?
Where in the consititution is that language?
