It's great that members of Congress have located specific legislative language permitting the president to build a border wall, but I'm wondering: Has anybody read the Constitution?
It says:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."
"(The president) shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."
With millions of foreigners illegally pouring across our border, it sure looks like the laws are not being "faithfully executed." I wonder if the COMMANDER IN CHIEF has any authority to stop it.
The Constitution was expressly designed to make it difficult to do what our military does all the time -- fight wars around the globe -- and easy to do what our military never does -- defend our own country.
Congress was given power to "declare war," but not to "make war," for the precise purpose of stalling the march to war. It was a selling point that the legislative branch takes forever to do anything.
But we had a country to protect, so the Constitution gave the energetic, fast-moving president the authority to deploy the military defensively.

She's wrong, she's just an over-the-hill, vacuous shrew, and the ONLY people who are "automatically" drawn to her threads here, are the very few droolers who once DEMANDED that every such thread be littered with pictures of her and are still besotted with a MUCH younger Ann.
Sod off!
Run along, Ann. You two-faced drip.
She's a full on GOPEer and Mitt Romney devotee.
SPOT ON !
Find a thing she’s said about immigration that’s wrong.
She is way past menopause. Approaching dementia and senility.
In this case, Ann Coulter is factually correct but didn’t go far enough, imo.
We, the EX-GIs of the USA (I’m retired USA.), are a vital part of the MILITIA. = Make a call for GENERAL MILITIA & many of us EX-GIs will volunteer to help seal the border for our STATES & TO DEFEND the CONSTITUTION of the USA “ - - - against ALL enemies foreign & domestic.”
To my knowledge, NONE of us who took THE OATH were ever released from it.

Ann's an hysteric, ranting and raving, and going off 1/2 cocked. Her wall and ILLEGAL ALIEN HORDE INVASION rants are said just to hook poor fools like you.
Did you see what she tweeted last night?
She moaned and slammed and ranted about the SOTU address and admitted that she watched less than 1/4 of it.
Nice non-sequitur. We're not attacking Ann over her immigration beliefs; we're attacking her because she thinks she knows better than the guy that hyper-drove and owns the issue to begin with, and has to navigate the sewers in Washington to implement it.
Has nothing to do with Ann being right on immigration.
Ann Coulter should be considered anathema on this Forum.

You may be onto something.
We could politely ask Ann to sit down now and shut up for a while (such as a decade). Why promote her?
And no, I’m not going to say someday “Well, Romney or Kasich or Jeb aren’t really so bad compared with the new
Dem candidate.
We did that once Reagan left office. It never works.
Trump yes. Others no.
She's probably just upset that she finds herself on the wrong side in the 24% of the country who didn't like Trump's speech last night.
Apparently she wanted him to start pouring the concrete footers and raising up the metal barriers last night, right in the middle his speech and in the House of Representative's chamber.
I used to really like Ann. And probably do on some other issues.
But on the issue of building the wall, she's become so shrill, I won't even listen to her anymore.
Ann attacking Trump makes him appear to be middle of road rather than hard right. Is Ann doing it on purpose?
Maybe she’s perimenopausal, otherwise she is just being b*****.
No, she just Jonesin’ for a cigarette, yo.
I said she’s right on immigration. You took exception to that, noob.
She needs an industrial account!
LOL... I got banned from twitter because I called her a schizo with her wall posts and told her to eat a snickers. No joke. *poof* twitter banned me. What does that tell ya?
I wonder if somehere read this article. I agree it's a good read.
