in the future gun violence could be classed as a national emergency and now any future POTUS has the scope to bypass congress.
It should be 9-0. Theyâre smart enough to know the precident it would set.
The precedent will come when the courts laugh this back to the White House.
Democrats wonât be able to use this.
a question for those that support his so called emergency
its clear congress doesnt want to fund teh wall.
the constitution gives congress the power of the purse
whats to stop a future president from banning the sale or possession of semi auto rifles liek the ar-15?
after all if trump can try and make an end run aroudn teh constitution wha cant a future president?
whats to stop a future president from lowering teh medicare age to birth,creating medicare for all
if a president can declare an emergency to go around congress what are the limits?
How come the president didnât do this back in December, would have saved federal workers a lot of stress?
Allam
Republicans canât see past the wall.
I expect the Democratic opposition to this overreach by President Trump will forestall any effort to recycle this power the next time a Democrat takes up residence in the White House.
But should Trumpâs power grab make it through Congress and the Courts I would expect the next Democratic President would be much more likely to declare an emergency over climate change rather than gun violence.
gun violence,climate change,healthcare.
theres pretty much no limit
Except the Constitution. Pretty good rulebook, that one!
and the precedent will be set⌠get ready America. Elections have consequences.
Good luck with that. See the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Amendments.
The precedent was set decades ago.
in 2014 trump tweeted this after Obama took executive action of immigration
Repubs must not allow Pres Obama to subvert the Constitution of the US for his own benefit & because he is unable to negotiate w/ Congress.

Plus theyâre gonna sit there and go âhow come this wasnât a national emergency for the last 2 years?â .
This is nothing other than a strong man power grab. Iâm glad heâs doing it. This is as close to a Republican media presidency as weâll ever get.
He used an EO to subvert the law. Try again.
say goodbye to your guns when the dems win in 2021 and president harris declares their possession a threat to national security and bans them
Oh please please do.
You mean he used unilateral executive authority as an end round because he was deadlocked with Congress? Yeah, thatâs nothing like this.
Maintaining your rep as Trumpâs harshest critic.
This is now just pure vanity. He didnât get his way. So now heâs going to do whatever he needs to so that he feels successful. Never mind the overreach. Never mind the precedence that it sets. His ego just does not allow someone to say ânoâ to him. Pure and simple. This is the flight of fancy of a megalomaniac. You guys support a child in the White House.
oh goodie! then Rush and Sean can dust off their âactivist judges ruling from the benchâ scripts.
