Are you sure his successor didn't set that precedent lol?
Does it really matter? This decision is dumb.
It's the only option if congress can't represent their constituents.

Plus we got el chapo's 14 billion back so technically Mexican cartels paid for it lmao


No. We don't ignore the constitution just because we don't like what Congress does. We especially don't allow one man the right to do that. Rule by law is what protects us. Violating that concept is way beyond dangerousand never justified by "oh but I know what's best"
Please show me where this violates the constitution.


Let's here the argument for why he is not violating the appropriations clause.

https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretations/appropriations-clause-article-i-section-9-clause-7

Just positing that a declaration as an emergency under the National Emergency Act (Congress gave the Executive that power), he can spend money from any statutes that allow new or transfer spending during emergency periods.
I don't even know what that means. Even during physical land wars between nations, it is Congress that appropriates funds for the military. Having a hard time understanding why this is different. If Roosevelt had to ask for money to fight the Nazis, it seems a little odd that Trump can just name his price to fight off 12 year olds from Honduras.

Give me an example of a "statute that allows new or transfer spending during emergency periods."

As you know, bills that appropriate spending may limit that spending on certain specific line items. An example of this would be what Trump just signed that limits him to spending no more than $1.375 billion on a physical barrier. Under an NEA declaration, he could, for example, utilize military funding bills that are specific only to certain programs that don't limit or are not specific as to what the funds could be spent on. For example, there are border protection funds for the military, yet it's not the military that chases, catches, and prosecutes illegals, that's ICE. The military merely observes. Funds appropriated to the military for border protection, if not specific or limited in the bill, could be used to build a wall in addition to what he just received from congress.
Thanks. Not sure that is how it will work out. The rationale presupposes that the crisis requires the use of the military. It seems like circular logic to me. Also doesn't seem very "originalist."

Regardless, my guess is the Democrat's plan is to just tie it up in the courts for 23 months.

Yeah. It's not very "originalist" at all. I don't care for an emergency declaration use under any circumstances for that very reason. To me it's like the War Powers Act...yeah it limits a presidents use of the military, but it allows a president to use the military without a congressional declaration of war.
Only if Congress fails to do their duty, which they have always failed to do for decades now. When POTUS acts Congress should refuse to fund. Power retrieved. Instead we have something like a parliamentary govt, but no votes of "no confidence".

Here's a GOP POTUS telling Congress to ignore "constitutionality and precedent" to do what he wants.

If you are against the boondoggle wall you must be for open borders. This is a lie and framing the question this way should only work in the minds of those with no reasoning skills. Unfortunately it is widespread.

Senate votes to override. At least 7 Republicans. Watch fake conservatives castigate real conservatives for doing the right thing.

They don't have enough votes to override Trump's upcoming veto of this.

So I applaud the RINO's for ratting themselves out. First time congress has ever rejected a Presidential emergency under the 1976 national emergency act.

Illegal immigration is big business: too bad you know nothing about that. You just applauded the swamp in it's attempt to perpetuate illegal immigration so they can get rich from it.

Maybe true. That's a different vote. Others could change their mind.

Did congress take away that 1976 law giving the president that authority? Did I miss something?

BTW....I think this is a poor use of that authority, but nevertheless they gave it to a president.

Elsewhere I have argued that there are several unconstitutional delegations of congressional power to the executive. Doesn't matter how long Congress has let it go. Really ironic that this particular authority was granted so soon after the imperial presidency.

Nixon or the book? Not disagreeing that all government branches have exceeded the authority granted under the constitution (IMO the constitution isn't a suicide pact.) and government has grown too large exceeding what the Framers intended, but congress did authorize a president this authority.
