Trump's wall idea is dead

[Siete]

trump cannot just walk over a court order. you actually WANT a US president to do that? i'm not changing any subject - it's all part of the same thing. you don't think property owners aren't gearing up for a fight? think again.

The National Emergencies Act clearly gives the President all the power he needs to build the fence without the approval of Congress and so no court has the legitimate authority to order him not to. Lawsuits that challenge his ability to do so will quickly be seen as frivolous.

he still needs Congress - the founding fathers had a DICTATOR fail safe.

Actually, he doesn't. The National Emergencies Act ol 1976 allows the President to declare a national emergency whenever he wants to and for any reason he thinks warrants it without the approval of Congress and it details what emergency powers the President has under the Act. The 1986 amendment to the Act provides that Congress cannot rescind and national emergency the President has declared without his agreement.

Politically speaking, he will want as many Republicans in Congress to support this action so he will take his time to explain his action to them.

HE CAN DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY 3 TIMES A DAY 365 DAYS A YEAR -

Congress affords the POTUS that ABILITY through a statute THAT THEY FUCKING CONTROL

DDDDDUUUUURRRRRRRRRR

There are only two ways Congress can prevent the President from building the smart fence under a declaration of national emergency, they can impeach and convict him or they can rally 2/3 majorities in both houses of Congress to overturn the National Emergencies Act. Other than that, they can only complain about it.

ok - you're too stupid to understand the statute.


you're dismissed.

No I really don’t consider that to be an emergency. I think it waters down the meaning and true intention of those emergency powers in my opinion. There are flaws in our immigration system that’s apparent, but using declaration of emergency to begin construction on a wall in order to address an emergency that is said to be happening right now doesn’t really match when it comes to timeline. Immigration hasn’t really changed in the two years Trump has been president. Why is it an emergency now but not two years ago? What is the catalyst now that warrants emergency powers versus then? I’m not opposed to fixing our immigration system, but I do question and have my doubts about the current underlying politics of the current dilemma.

legally, a national emergency is anything the President says is a national emergency. Although presidents have been declaring national emergencies since the beginning of the republic, in the late 1970's Congress passed laws defining what the President's powers to declare an emergency was and exactly what powers he could subsequently exercise. The first president to declare a national emergency under these new laws was Jimmy Carter when he wanted to seize Iranian assets in the US without seeking permission from Congress.

Congress recognized there might be times when Congress was unable to act effectively on certain issues and the President must take action on his own, and this has been done over 500 times since the beginning of the republic and 58 times since the new laws were passed in the 1970's; 31 of these states of emergency are still in effect, and President Trump has declared states of emergency 3 times already.

President Trump regarded immigration reform as an urgent matter from day one of his administration, and he tried from day one to negotiate the issue with the Democrats, but they refused. Since the Democrats were determined to block any legislation that would advance the President's reform agenda, he would have needed sixty votes in the Senate to get the funding passed, and while he had majorities in favor of it in both houses of Congress, he never had sixty votes in the Senate. Nonetheless, he continued to try to reason with the Democrats right up until the Democrats won the House and made any kind of political compromise impossible. It is the gridlock the Democrats in the House have created in Congress that is the emergency that makes the invocation of emergency powers necessary since it makes it impossible for Congress to act effectively on this issue.

These national emergencies have been in the foreign policy arena and none of them directly contradict the Constitution. The Congress cannot give a President the powers that are delegated to Congress by the Constitution such as the power of the purse. They did not give him the power to as Justin Amish tweeted, "No. @POTUS can’t claim emergency powers for non-emergency actions whenever Congress doesn’t legislate the way he wants."

Just because he cannot get money from Congress for a wall does not make it a national emergency to do a end run around Congress. Just because you want something does not mean a compromise has to include it. Around a year ago when Democrats wanted DACA as part of a compromise bill, Republicans refused to include DACA in a compromise. Gridlock is not a justification for using a national emergency to do a end-run around Congress. If you could, Obama could have declared a national emergency to go around a Republican Congress.

Regardless of what you or Justin Amish think a national emergency should be, under the National Emergencies Act a national emergency is anything the President says it is, and neither Congress nor the Courts have jurisdiction over what constitutes a national emergency, and since the law gives the President 123 extraordinary powers under a national emergency to use the funds in the DoD military construction budget ($10.5 billion, mostly now designated for military housing) to build the smart fence, there are no legitimate legal grounds on which to challenge him. There are only two ways to prevent the President from securing our southern border under a declaration of national emergency, rally 2/3 of each house of Congress to overturn the National Emergencies Act, or impeach and convict the President. Of course, both will fail.

Barack Obama declared 13 states of emergency in order to gain extraordinary powers and not one of them dealt with a threat to American people or American property; all of them dealt with seizing the property of or blocking commerce with people who were party to foreign conflicts in which the US was not involved. None of these issues was so time sensitive that he couldn't have gone to Congress to seek their approval, but given his poor relations with Congress, he probably would have had to undergo the same kind of obstruction by Congress on each of the EO's issued under these national (non)emergencies.

The court fight would not be over the national emergency but whether that gives the President the power to ignore the Constitution which gives Congress the power of the purse. That cannot be legislated away. That gives the Courts the right to intervene.

Barack Obama's national emergencies did not directly contradict the Constitution in a way that Trump's would.

--------------------------------------------- in your OPINION BBee .

In reality. Whether a President can override the Constitution by calling a national emergency is the issue. It does clash with the Constitution which grants the power of the purse to Congress.

trump is limited in what he can order the military to do within the nation's borders & the eminent domain lawsuits will be interesting to see play out. so much for keeping gov'ment small & less intrusive, 'eh?

---------------------------------------- got nothing to do with the military , Trump just ignores the 'courts black robed tyrant' called 'judge' . What army does the 'judge' have that will go after Trump ignoring the 'court' order PTime ?? And so you want to change topics to Eminent Domain eh . There is enough WALL building areas so that eminent domain may not ever be a concern . And then , remember the 60 foot wide Roosevelt Reservation that runs the entire length of the border that is Federally owned Land [except for Texas ] PTime .

What army does Trump have. The military has the duty to disobey unlawful orders. If they don't then they can be held legally liable.

There is no Constitutional issue. Congress passed the National Emergencies Act in 1976 which give the president the power to declare a national emergency whenever he likes and detailing 123 emergency powers he can exercise without approval by Congress and amended the Act in 1985, so that Congress could not rescind a national emergency without the agreement of the president. The law only imposes certain procedural requirements on the president and as long as he follow them and stays within the emergency powers detailed in the Act, neither Congress nor the Courts has any jurisdiction over what he does.

trump is limited in what he can order the military to do within the nation's borders & the eminent domain lawsuits will be interesting to see play out. so much for keeping gov'ment small & less intrusive, 'eh?

---------------------------------- i guess that it already happened once when President Andrew Jackson ignored the 'supremes' and no 'supreme court' Military stepped in to stop 'andy' from ignoring the 'court' . And thats probably because 'courts' do not control the USA Military . i think what i just said is correct and factual . President Trump is CiC of the military and 'black robed tyrant judges' are not 'CiC . ------------------------- lawful or unlawful orders are simply a matter of OPINION in and looks to me that its just your opinion BBee .

Truman's attempt to invoke a national emergency was overturned by the courts and building a wall would be a assault on our Constitution. The courts have to intervene and make this determination.

Trump abuses his power and makes it to a military issue -

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN?

Such a move is sure to spark a flood of legal challenges questioning the president's authority as well as whether the situation at the border really constitutes an emergency. Trump has been trying to press that case in recent days, insisting the situation qualifies as a security and humanitarian "crisis."

Can Trump ‘emergency’ turn border wall into military construction project?

Your link does not claim the President can't use funds from the military construction budget, just that the writer doesn't like the idea. Try this.

Emergency presidential powers are dramatic, and range from suspending all laws regulating chemical and biological weapons, including the ban on human testing (50 U.S.C. § 1515, passed 1969); to suspending any Clean Air Act implementation plan or excess emissions penalty upon petition of a state governor (42 U.S.C. (f) § 7410 (f), passed 1977); to authorizing and constructing military construction projects (10 U.S.C. (a) § 2808 (a), passed 1982) using any existing defense appropriations for such military constructions ($10.4 billion in FY2018[16]); to drafting any retired Coast Guard officers (14 U.S.C. § 331, passed 1963) or enlisted members (14 U.S.C. § 359, passed 1949) into active duty.
