Trump to have his first Oval Office address on Tuesday evening. Pence says that Trump is considering declaring a National Emergency to bypass the House for funding the wall. Trump is also seeking hundred of millions of dollars for "additional Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, detention beds, & drug detection equipment."

Walls work. That's why rich, powerful, and successful people build them around their homes. All Americans deserve the same protection.

Did he just advocate for socialist walls?

It’s fucking hilarious when you read the letter because it’s blatantly clear his aides wrote 99% of it with him adding that small bit lol.

Just keep looping two sound bytes. "Mexico is gonna pay for it" and "I am proud to shut down the government for border security".

Ding ding ding.

"Build the Wall" was coined by Roger Stone to keep Trump's attention on immigration.

Stupid fucker going to declare a national emergency over some dumb shit that doesn't actually exist while health care spirals out of control and homeless people die by the tens of thousands.

Fucking douche.

[Cail]

What can the President do by declaring a national emergency? All I've heard is heresay from people that are unreliable

[Fiye]

Uh we don't know I think is the best response.

[6souls]

Secure funding from the DoD construction budget.

More or less anything. It is designed to be for a situation where Congress cannot act in time (like a nuclear strike.)

Think about it like this: the president has the legal authority, as the head legal authority, to do whatever on the timescale of a legal challenge.

What are emergency powers?
The president has the authority to declare a national emergency, which activates enhancements to his executive powers by essentially creating exceptions to rules that normally constrain him. The idea is to enable the government to respond quickly to a crisis.

Although presidents have sometimes claimed that the Constitution gives them inherent powers to act beyond ordinary legal limits in an exigency, those claims tend to fare poorly when challenged in court.

But presidents are on firmer legal ground when they invoke statutes in which Congress delegated authorities to the executive branch that can be generated in emergencies. In a recent study, the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law identified 123 provisions of law granting presidents a range of such powers.

The National Emergencies Act, enacted during the post-Watergate reform era, regulates how presidents may invoke such powers. It requires them to formally declare a national emergency and tell Congress which statutes are being activated.

Kinda sounds like we're going to making rules up as we go and people are going to fight them.

And in normal Trump fashion its going to be done in the dumbest way so its easy to challenge it and tie it up in court.

Should do a pool to guess how many lies are told during the National Address. I'm going to go with 53, if he stays on message about the wall.... 150+ if he derails.
