I say please, please, pleeeaaasseee Trump, arbitrarily declare a national emergency to just bypass congress and unilaterally enforce your agenda. Opening that box may be bad now, but just think of all the super fun liberal things we can do with this same tactic when the pendulum inevitably swings the other way in 2020 or 2024. Any time the GOP tries to stop us in congress we could just bypass congress!
Healthcare issues? NATIONAL EMERGENCY!! Redirect money from defense to reforming our system and creating affordable universal healthcare!
Climate change? NATIONAL EMERGENCY!! Redirect money from conservative programs to the EPA and showering green companies with subsidies!
Teen pregnancy? NATIONAL EMERGENCY!! Redirect money from ICE and border security to fund free abortions!
Then every year when the government tries to pass a budget we can hold the entire thing hostage unless we get our special liberal programs passed. There are just so many fun new tricks we're going to get to use, the possibilities are limitless, so think about that conservatives.

If president trump declares a national emergency so he can keep his campaign promise I would like to make a suggestion. The confederate statues that have come down, put them on top of the wall. That should scare any potential border jumpers to turn around and go back.
Trump won't declare a national emergency to keep a campaign promise. He will declare a national emergency because that will be the only way he is able to resolve the humanitarian/security crisis at our southern border.
But hey...if you think it'll help to put confederate statues on the wall he's going to build...if you think that'll help...you should send Trump a letter with that suggestion.

Oh yes, now I remember. Trump spent the entire summer of 2016 decrying the humanitarian crisis at the border. It was virtually all he talked about on the campaign trail. It drove the Trump supporters to the polls by the millions.
And now, because the Dems don't care about this crisis and won't fund the single most important and efficient solution to the crisis, Trump will have to declare a national emergency in order to deal with the crisis.
All kidding aside, if Trump can convince the courts that it is within his purview to bypass Congress in order to advance his political agenda, the great American experiment is over. We had a good run.

a future president could also choose to tear down the ego wall by using a "national emergency" if the precedence is set.
the silver lining in the debacle that is the Trump presidency is that congress now knows the loopholes that a rogue president might use to abuse power. if the Trumpists lose the presidency and the Senate, closing loopholes should be a top priority.
There are statutes, including a statute pertaining to immigration, passed by Congress, in which Congress delegated emergency powers to the Executive. Those statutes, unfortunately, perhaps as unfortunate as their existence, contain language giving the President broad discretion to declare a national emergency.

Codifying a boundary between the White House and the DOJ is a big priority, as I see it. As it turns out, the only thing stopping a President from turning the DOJ into his own personal lawyer and attack dog was a pinkie promise.
Ya'll already pulled that **** with Obamacare, where the ruling specifically stated that the government doesn't have the authority to do such a thing but they could pass a fine...I mean "tax"...to hit people who don't comply. So Republicans should just put a fine...I mean "tax" on anyone performing or getting an abortion or something.
Then maybe people would understand what a horrible move that was as well.
Yes the horror of 20 million more people with healthcare coverage must be stopped at all costs. It is so much better to place the costs of the uninsured on those who already have coverage.

Ah yes, this brand new "humanitarian and security crisis" at our southern border. I think it's beyond a little hilarious that you're pretending to care about the humanity of illegal immigrants or that a wall that will take many years to build is the solution to it.
Confederate statues? Not by a longshot. Perhaps if you put signs saying "Putin rules here. Russia welcomes you" it might do better. No one seems to be rushing to go to Russia.
Your obvious lack of concern over using very dangerous methods to pass something so long as it's you support is noted.

When, in your mind, did this "emergency" or "crisis" start ?
If there was an "emergency" when Trump was campaigning 2 and a half years ago...why wait to declare one ?
Do you call that leadership ?
Would FDR have waited 2.5 years before striking back at Japan after Pearl Harbor had Congress not declared war ?
Perhaps Trump and his supporters have a different definition (that is if you believe words have definitions) to the word "emergency".
