I can understand that you have become use to presidents who recite their oath of office as if they were simply performing a ritual with no real intent of upholding their sworn duty. But to consider that a president doing their duty as being promoting a personal whim reveals how far from understanding our constitution and the constitutional duties of those who swear an oath to it. Congressional members also swore an oath. How can our president abiding by his oath override the powers of the congress? Just because most of them will not do their duty in no way means him doing his overrides any POWERS of congress.

Their power is to legislate and allocate funds through bills. He can veto what they legislate, but with enough of them, they can even override his veto. But by trump getting funds from elsewhere, in no way overrides what funds they choose to allocate or withhold. He hasn't taken funds under their authority. He is taking funds which have ALREADY been allocated by Congress for that use. These include the bulk of the wall money to come from funds authorized by Congress to combat drug trafficking. Since the main argument for the wall is to prevent the cartels easy access to our country over our southern border, this use of these funds is not even a case of reallocation. That the wall will also reduce child traffickers, human traffickers, terrorist invaders, and other illegal invaders is icing on the cake. Other sources of funds are coming from money allocated to various departments in the executive branch, but never obligated. This is money the president has every right to reallocate even without a national emergency being declared. But without declaring a national emergency, getting the funds where they are needed might take far longer especially if taken to court.

So no one is taking anything away from Congress. They set up a road block but Trump neither halted at it nor crashed through it. He simply took another road!

That is basically what I posted earlier on another thread. President Trump is doung his sworn duty to protect the American citizens.

No where is it written how he must do it. As commander in Chief of the Military he has the authority to order the military to protect American borders. They have the funds to do whatever is necessary to protect the American borders and the Senate can not stop them.

Their stupid lawsuit was filed in the wrong court. The 9th circuit bias California court has no juristication. The illegal lawsuit should have been filed in the Washington court.

The Attorney General should file obstruction of justice charges against the ones that filed the fiverious lawsuit.

Power hungry leaders in the Senate do not dictate to the President they just think they do.

But thats a loser for you.

YES! WE, the people living on the front line, DO WANT A WALL!!!!!!! And every CBP agent I know of, wants a wall. I have encounters with several, and sometimes a couple dozen, different CBP agents a month. My house is a stones throw from a trail used by illegals.

Good list! Not to mention civil rights related legislation was not only opposed by leading Democrats, no Democrats voted yea on most civil rights bills. But of course that is not a Republican accomplishment but rather a Democrat failure.

Nickolai

The US adopted socialism in 1775 when Ben Franklin founded the US postal service. Every developed nation on earth Is a mixture of socialism and capitalism. The highway system. public transportation. public libraries, public schools, ect ect

debeda

Honestly, Nikolai, I think you are confused. Those are infrastructures for the public good financed by our tax dollars. Is it your contention that any country with a good infrastructure is socialist
