By the time many read this the bill before Trump to fund the government will have either been signed or vetoes.
I say VETO the spending bill President Trump. We either get the wall from a proper congressional spending bill or he should shut down the government.
Besides, why allow Congress to spend $4 trillion for 1 year. That is reason enough to veto the bill. Consider the thought of $24 trillion spent by 2024 if Trump gets re-elected in 2020.
Hell, at this rate the next President will spend over $10 trillion a year, then by 2034, they will be spending $20 trillion a year. When does this madness stop? President Trump, it is up to you to stop it NOW!
No wall, no spending bill.
It is time to reign in the out of control spending of those out of control congress critters. Especially since they will all blame Trump for the spending, not their own inability to stop spending.
He needs to veto it and force the establishment to override his veto. Then the blood is on their hands not his.
No, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional when Republicans gave Clinton the line item veto power in the 90’s.
The longest shutdown in U S history wasn’t enough?
Right now it looks like he will.
The bill passed both Houses with veto proof majorities. Trump can veto it if he wishes (though it looks like he’s going to sign), but there won’t be a shutdown.
not everyone who votes for a bill, will vote to override a veto
In this case I would say if Trump were to veto even more congress people would vote in favor
Ah, we are talking different uses of “lost”. I was leaning towards the perception thing and not that actual reality of votes, etc.
Sorry.
It passed 300-128 in the House and 83-16 in the Senate. Even if some votes are lost, it’s a pretty safe bet that there will be enough to override a veto.
No he didn't(won't) we did(will).
Well maybe he could build the wall with an overpass every mile, would that help?
I pray you are correct
Obviously not. They are playing him for a fool. Trump is no fool, so he needs to veto it and put the ball back in their court.
Did they tell him about that broad authority he has? Just asking.
Veto it and allow them yo override it. Then the blood is on their hands.
We will not know unless he veto’s it
Am I reading this right? If PDJT signs this bill, DHS (border patrol) cannot stop anyone from entering... with or without a wall... if they are with a child?
Section 224(a) of the bill
“None of the funds provided by this Act or any other Act, or provided from any accounts in the Treasury of the United States derived by the collection of fees available to the components funded by this Act, may be used by the Secretary of Homeland Security to place in detention, remove, refer for a decision whether to initiate removal proceedings, or initiate removal proceedings against a sponsor, potential sponsor, or member of a household of a sponsor or potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien child ( as defined in section 462 (g) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279(g))) based on information shared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.”

How is that ruling helping him on the border?
It ain’t!
Sarah Sanders said he’s going to sign it
Well, that may be, but the Supreme Court made it abundantly clear last June that the President has broad and sweeping powers over all matters of immigration.
It's up to each president to choose whether to use that power or not.
