That answer was on the discussion of eminent domain seizure of private owned boarder land. Not liking the idea of any President having that power.


That’s not how I recall it. April asked about ED.

Another reporter asked if he considered executive power to get the wall built and his response was yes - it’s called National Emergency and I have the authority and we could build the wall very quickly.

He can and actually mentioned it today.

Declare a National Emergency (which he's already done, people still forge this), and then order the DHS and Pentagon to build it using already approved funds.

It would create some appropriations issues but nothing he can't handle.

While I fully understand your point, me being a conservative would make me opposed to doing anything outside the constitution even when my party is in power.
Does the Constitution allow a POTUS to protect the border during an invasion, or nah?

The largest sticking point is all the non-federal land at play. Can the President have the military set up on a private property? What if property owner does not consent? Reasons have to be airtight and defendable as the only viable method.

Why would conservatives want to allow a President to have this kind of power?

Because we're in a new era. Ideology is for cucks. It's all about WINNING now. You just need to trust in dear leader and let him WIN.
