The “power of the purse” doesn’t apply to emergencies where the President can reallocate funds to deal with that emergency. Such actions have happened before without complaint of constitutionality.

The issue is whether or not the border issue constitutes an actual emergency. Trump has been proving his case for several years that it is an emergency.

Presidents do this all the time. It was the legislative body that passed this law that allows the executive to do this. Constitution preserved.

So, when did you come out against the National Emergencies Act as unconstitutional? Before Trump?
