"Constitution guarantees [??? emphasis added] the right to a healthy environment"


Respectfully FRinCanada2, if I understand you correctly, where did you get the idea that the Constitution guarantees the right to a healthy environment?

Regarding OBiden's alleged plan for national climate emergency, please consider the following.

None of the words climate, health, environment, crisis or emergency, are found in the amendable Constitution.

In fact, your word "guarantee" is only in the Constitution once.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

In other words, regarding concern about a possible OBiden emergency climate edict, the corrupt Congress that patriots desperately need to exercise their voting power to fire in November will predictably look the other way while OBiden steals state powers to make such edicts, just like Congress previously let Obama get away with doing in his second term imo.

Constitutionally non-existent Oval Office power to declare national emergencies probably got started in the time of Constitution-ignoring activist President Woodrow Wilson, under the cover of WWI. More specifically, the Democratic-controlled Congress arguably took advantage of that difficult time by unconstitutionally giving all presidents the power to unilaterally declare national emergencies, President Woodrow Wilson wrongly signing the bill that unconstitutionally gives presidents such power.

In fact, the drafters of the Constitution gave the power to declare war uniquely to Congress to help prevent armed forces from being used as instrument of tyranny, the “power of the purse” House having the power to choose not to support an army led by a rising tyrant.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare War [emphasis added], grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;"

So even if corrupt Congress is willing to pay for an OBiden national emergency, it remains that Congress doesn't reasonably have the constitutional power to pay for such an emergency.
