The House just passed a resolution to block Trump’s wall emergency declaration. Democrats are claiming that Trump violated the Constitution and is acting like a dictator.
CBS:
The House of Representatives passed a resolution late Tuesday afternoon that would terminate President Trump’s national emergency proclamation, which is also being challenged in court by a multistate lawsuit.
The final vote of 245 to 182 fell largely along party lines, but 13 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure.
The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate, which must vote on the measure within 18 days. Mr. Trump has vowed to veto the resolution if it reaches his desk.
Introduced by Democrats last week, the measure would reverse the implementation of the president’s controversial proclamation, which he is relying on to unilaterally access $3.6 billion in military construction funds to build his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
It is utterly insane for the Democrats to be bringing up the Constitution. These people are rabid Marxists who have done everything in their power to destroy the Constitution. Trump was well within his authority to declare the national emergency. Congress passed legislation giving the executive branch broad power to declare national emergencies back in the 1970s. The Democrats are just mad that it is being used to do something they dislike. They also had no problem when Barry Obama used his executive power unlawfully to let children of illegal aliens stay in the country. Barry himself admitted that what he was doing was against the Constitution. And how about when he bombed Libya? That was not in line with the Constitution. If he followed the Constitution he would have sought a declaration of war from Congress.
Ultimately though, none of this matters. Even if the measure passes the Senate, there’s not enough votes to override a presidential veto and Trump has already said that he’d veto any legislative measure meant to block his order.
The few Republicans who sided with the Democrats on this vote are retards. They claim that Trump shouldn’t exercise this power because a future Democrat President would have justification to use executive power on issues they dislike. Well guess what, Obama already did do that. Maybe not through a national emergency, but it was the same result. This is just an excuse to avoid fighting and standing up for something. It is this ridiculous thought process why so-called conservatives have conserved nothing and have been total and complete political failures.
