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.

Before she lost her mind, I actually read some of her books. I cant get past the first sentence of her recent columns.
DJT is the last best hope to save this country. That being said Trump has three major failings. He has not used his executive authority to build the wall (the only way it will ever be built), he continues to appoint swamp creatures especially at DOJ and he refuses to declassify the evidence of the ongoing coup. Coulter only states the facts about the border. I wish she would be more discriminating where she complains. Remember we are not monolithic like the Democrats. I love Trump but I wont ignore the shortcomings that he could address and neither does Coulter.
I'll trust the guy that negotiated billion-dollar real estate deals in the toughest real estate market in the world than a sarcastic, has-been conservative commentator who might likely have Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
I said she’s right on immigration. Somebody took exception to that, so it’s not a non-sequitur.
Someone count cadence so that broad will remember when to breathe...
I hate to admit it, but she’s right. I didn’t vote for more speeches.

Duct tape and a brick would suffice.
She must be a darling to live with. NOT!
Yes, it is a non-sequitur.
The issue isn't over her being right on immigration; it's that she has absolutely no clue what Trump has already done/what he is going to do on immigration.
It's so easy to bitch from the sidelines at whatever Conservative, Inc. cocktail party (not you, Ann) you're at, rather than take in consideration that Trump's wall is opposed by leftists judges, the Democrats, the GOPe, and big business donors.
No, it’s not a non-sequitur. I said she’s right on immigration. Somebody disagreed.
Whether or not she knows what trump is doing is a separate issue that was not discussed.
Anorexia and low blood sugar is a deadly combination......
I've been here over 20 years, interested in/involved in politics for many, many, MANY decades prior to that. You've been here for four months; unless you are a brain dead #NEVERTRUMPER or other once banned damned retread! Go check yourself kid!
I take umbrage with your uneducated, drooling, thoughtless, FALL FOR Anything praise of Ann's remarks, which she doesn't mean.
Hey kid noob, my definition of s noob is less than 40 years. Deal with it.
this article is absolutely dead on. Mr. President, build the wall, and secure your reelection. you have always had the authority. you and America have no more time to waste.
At least two of us can but judging from the hate on her lately, we may be all alone.
Her points are exactly right and if he doesn't get it done, it really won't matter Republicans will never be in power again, if they ever really were.
The attentionwhore rantings got "old" long ago and her on again/off again Trump; stuff just makes her look like the lunatic she actually is!
Ann is getting TIRESOME!!
Does she not understand that he’s opposed at all turns, including by republicant’s? Some on that side want to keep the human trafficking going.
WOW!! Hi Newbie!!
