Can Trump build the wall in the sections of the country

Sure. Just not with "those" funds in that bill.

He's tapping other funds with the ED.

The bill doesn't say that, though.

As a hypothetical, I would think he wouldn't sign it if it had that language.

I can’t remember exact specifics but someone on fox said there’s specific areas that the bill protected from government ever building any structures on those areas

More than likely this is how he'll lose in the courts. It will be difficult for him to make the legal claim that he had to declare an emergency to build a wall moments after he signed a bill into law that prohibits him from building a wall

Article 1 grants appropriations powers to Congress. Congress exercised its authority in regard to the situation at the border and made an appropriation which the President apparently will sign into law, if he hasn't already.

Whatever emergency powers the president has shouldn't extend to directly overruling an appropriations judgment by Congress. Emergency powers are for acting quickly when needed, not for overruling an Article 1 appropriations decision. Emergency power does not elevate the President to supremacy over the will of Congress.

A national emergency allow him to waive other laws. Its good for one year, unless he or Congress rescinds it. A previous declaration:

quote:

---

I hereby declare that the Secretary may exercise the authority under section 1135 of the SSA to temporarily waive or modify certain requirements of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance programs and of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule throughout the duration of the public health emergency declared in response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. In exercising this authority, the Secretary shall provide certification and advance written notice to the Congress as required by section 1135(d) of the SSA (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5(d)).”

Those would either become gate areas or just build around them and their residents can go through the lines to cross the wall.

So If is it in fact true that this bill has sections of America protected from ever having structures built upon, then why would trump sign it and not be able to complete uninterrupted wall?

---

Because the bill doesn't say that.

It references the types of barrier that can be used in a handful of environmentally sensitive places along the Rio Grande.

It doesn't say no barrier can be used now or for the rest of time.

There is already a 30ft wall built in Cali

All they are claim is you cant build in the Rio Grande but I don't think that's where he wants to build it anyways

Hes replacing the 2ft fence that the illegals just jump over and the Mex Gov busses them there

2. Locals can say they don't want it locally.

Probably doesn't apply under a National Emergency.
