re: Declaring national emergency is a bad move

You do realize that the only reason this is even being said is because the media has pushed this idea correct. There have been numerous executive orders used before with barely a peep. The left is unhinged about this because they now realize that their gotcha moment on Trump amounted to a turd. Muh Pelosi played Trump. It’s also huge because the Dems know that this is what Trump ran on and is a victory for the bad orange man. There is no constitutional amendment that says that the country should or cannot be protected.

In the future, Democrats will be able to declare a national health care emergency and put single payer nationwide coverage in place

You naïve enough to think that them doing something like this is contingent upon Pres. Trump?

Stop pretending that "if we just don't make em' angry, perhaps the Left will play nice" cuz' that's the kind of thinking that landed us here in the first place.

Besides, Trump has another budget fight coming up. He could have used DACA as a bargain tool to get more funding.

He could have, but that would require that he isn't the worst President ever at dealmaking.

Meh Dem would have shite all over the DACA peeps.

Y’all keep on saying bad precedent but since 76 over 58 nat emergencies have been declared

How many were declared to circumvent congress?

31 of them are still ongoing!!

31 declared national emergencies still in effect

Medicated Nancy sounds like she's never heard of this ever being done before.


As for her making the threat regarding guns, that only confirms what most of us already know: The Democratic Party ultimately wants to disarm the American people. She outed them once and for all on that, yesterday.

The Green New Deal, by executive fiat! This was never even thought possible before!

I think the next Dem President will declare an emergency for guns regardless of what Trump does. However, the media will be supportive when the Dem does it.

I guess I am confused. Is national emergency announcement required to shift previously approved funds around? If a national emergency fund is required why are amounts limited? Can the drug funds from El Chapo be seized and redirected to border security with out National Emergency like Ted Cruz is proposing?

I am less concerned about a future president declaring National Emergency (it be done like 70+ times since the 70's and could be done whether Trump does it or not.) The concern would be for Executive Branch to shift funds from congressional approved "buckets" around without congress approval. That's thin Ice in my mind.
