“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States” - https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript

This is why we elected President Donald Trump rather than a globalist traitor. Trump does the right thing. Democrats want to destroy our country.

Maybe the good Representatives are afraid of the U.S. getting involved in a "quagmire" at the border - like in Afghanistand or Iraq.

Maybe the Democratic party might have given pause to nominating HRC.

Need to look up the meaning of the word ‘Subversion’, ‘Treason’, Benedict Arnold, etc. The Dems are really crazy and should be reminded they are not in command of our armed forces - PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

This will definitely help the Republican vote on Tuesday. Democrats don’t want a nation with secure borders. How stupid is that?

I think that protecting the border from invasion, however so slight is the one area the President has ultimate jurisdiction and does not need Congressional funding or approval to do so.

IF we lose the house I wonder if Trump should declare martial law at the border crossings.

The RATS can’t help themselves.

Trump is so far inside their OODA Loop.
