Congress passed and the president (Gerald Ford) signed into law the National Emergencies Act in 1976. It does not violate any provision of Articles I or II of the Constitution and has been used over 50 times since it was passed. Now that President Trump wants to use it to secure the border, it’s an issue?

It’s pretty clear that we no longer have a representative republic and haven’t had for quite some time. Our elected “representatives” represent someone other than us.

Ain’t that the truth.
