(Authority to Build Wall - Page 7):
Activities Necessary to Carry Out or Enforce Treaties or International Obligations

I agree. The wall is part of the national security issue.
Page 8 - “Activities of the Army Corp of Engineers ... that involve imminent threats to human life or property “
From invasive species...two legged, and four legged.
You made me look for that one - LOL !!!
From page 6:
“...when authorized by the Secretary of Defense...”
Is Maddog on board?
ROFL!!!
President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis, who has said that responding to political Islam is the major security issue facing the United States, to be secretary of defense. - Dec 1, 2016
Yeah - hes on board ...
Wash Post - yesterday
Let’s hope he approves the military appropriation for the Wall. Someone at DoD anonymously told the WP today that Congress has to approve the Wall.
Not under the Feed and Forage Act - thats what this whole memo is all about. It gives all the circumstances the President can spend money on, without Congressional Authorization. It Was going to be invoked if there was a Govt shutdown. The President can spend money to Enforce Treaties and stop drugs (see post above - its straight from the memo) - The US has border treaty with Mexico, President can build a wall to stop drugs. I think thats what all the tweets are setting us up for.
Sanders said Tuesday that Trump is still considering ways for Mexico to pay or the border wall, though she declined to provide specifics. I can tell you that the continuation of building the wall is ongoing, and were going to continue moving forward in that process, Sanders told reporters at the White House. Yet Sanders declined to elaborate on whether using military funds would actually be pursued. Im not going to get into the specifics, she said, adding that the wall is necessary to defend the country.
I sure hope the plan goes smoothly. There seem to be some minor obstacles in the way. I heard a comment by Ann Coulter on Lou Dobbs today from an anonymous source at Defense to the WP. The buck was being passed to Congress. Was it fake news or was it a deep stater?
According to page six of the posted article, the SecDef has to sign off. Is Mattis 100% behind Trump’s military funding plan?
The resistance is ubiquitous. Trump needs everyone in his cabinet on board and vocal.
I thought, and said as much, during the campaign that the wall was low hanging fruit, and the President could declare it a wartime necessity and make it happen faster than the Alaskan highway and no court could stop him. But Trump hasn't tried to rally things that way. It's been the most surprising thing.
So happy!
They already did, when they passed The Secure Fence Act, which remains law.
That only holds if someone famous is passing through and one of those people might get too close./s
...Now its become the legal mechanism for Trump to order construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico, attempting tomake good on a key promise from the campaign trail. Trump specifically cited the law in the first sentence of Wednesdays executive order authorizing the wall...
Great Catch !!! More Evidence !!!
AND this is what we should be doing right NOW
