National Emergency:

A great big LOL at all the doom criers claiming President Trump would cave. https://t.co/vK6WufXtNt— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

He’s signing the bill AND he’s declaring the national emergency. He’s getting the border walk money from BOTH.

And those of you claiming law fare slow walking in the courts to block a national emergency declaration don’t know how anything works, so I’ll just ignore you.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

I also assume National Emergency overrides any Congressional shenanigans, thus no worries.— Rodney C. Johnson (@Sharrprime) February 14, 2019

Wictor proven right again, when he said "Nobody bothers to learn how anything works."

OK, 48 hour rule is HEREBY INVOKED.

I'm watching the usual MASS PANIC ensue because nobody knows what the President's nat'l emergency powers are vs Dem controlled House trying to block him— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

For once how about people do some research before they listen to TV talking heads insisting they PANIC RIGHT NOW?

Study the powers a President has under a national emergency to, let's say, DESIGNATE FUNDS himself to meet the nat'l emergency where Congress played NO ROLE in it.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

President Trump: "Uh, yeah, I want this $4 billion from the DOD over here, and this other $5 billion from that agency over there..."

House Dems: "Uh, 'scuse me? We didn't appropriate any of this money for this border security/wall stuff. You can't do that!"— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

House Dems: "And you just SPECIFICALLY SIGNED A BILL we sent up to you *prohibiting* you from spending any $ the US Congress appropriated on this border security stuff!"

Trump: "Yeah great. Explain how it nullifies my appropriation powers under a nat'l emergency declaration."— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

House Dems: "But....but...."

President Trump: "Yeah that's what I thought, losers."— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) February 14, 2019

Here’s a perfect example of why people should breathe. “National Emergency” funding is NOT included in this bill. Meaning, if he takes funds from other places? This won’t apply. https://t.co/uTsbkGrPs5— Tracybeanz (@tracybeanz) February 14, 2019
