Congress decides domestic policy and not the President. Not to nitpick because I agree with your premise that the president will get as much of the wall built as he wants, but this passage is patently false. Congress and the president have roles in deciding both domestic and foreign policy. In fact, given the broad scope of power a president can wield over the federal bureaucracy -- all of which falls under the Executive Branch -- I would argue that the president has more power to shape and implement domestic policy than Congress, which only has legislative power that cannot be enacted without the president's signature or a veto.

With respect to a brother who supports Trump, there are a few legal opinions that I didn’t mention in the article.

The Curtiss-Wright Export Corp. case was criticized in Zivotofsky v. Kerry (2015) “This description of the President’s exclusive power was not necessary to the holding of Curtiss-Wright—which, after all, dealt with congressionally authorized action, not a unilateral Presidential determination. Indeed, Curtiss-Wright did not hold that the President is free from Congress’ lawmaking power in the field of international relations. The President does have a unique role in communicating with foreign governments, as then-Congressman John Marshall acknowledged. See 10 Annals of Cong. 613 (1800) (cited in Curtiss-Wright, supra, at 319). But whether the realm is foreign or domestic, it is still the Legislative Branch, not the Executive Branch, that makes the law.”

 The opinion continued “In a world that is ever more compressed and interdependent, it is essential the congressional role in foreign affairs be understood and respected. For it is Congress that makes laws, and in countless ways its laws will and should shape the Nation’s course. The Executive is not free from the ordinary controls and checks of Congress merely because foreign affairs are at issue. See, e.g., Medellín v. Texas, 552 U. S. 491, 523-532 (2008); Youngstown, 343 U. S., at 589; Little v. Barreme, 2 Cranch 170, 177-179 (1804); Glennon, Two Views of Presidential Foreign Affairs Power: Little v. Barreme or Curtiss-Wright? 13 Yale J. Int’l L. 5, 19-20 (1988); cf. Dames & Moore v. Regan, 453 U. S. 654, 680-681 (1981). It is not for the President alone to determine the whole content of the Nation’s foreign policy.” Zivotofsky v. Kerry (2015)

It’s my job to look at both sides and figure out a legal strategy so that Trump wins and the progressives don’t. MAGA
