“They are also a blatant violation of federal law and infringe on Congress’s constitutional power of the purse. “
This won’t get far. Congress will simply resolve to halt funding of the wall, which the Dems were against in the first place, and redirect the money into some other thing, probably bad. All that will stand in their way is the filibuster, which could be taken out into the woods and shot.
Well, of course he did.
Not like he hasn't done this type of thing before.
I'm sure the lamestream media will be on this story forthwith.
.............”under investigation” is where federal agencies and Congressional Committees send Democrat felonies to hide for decades......

Look for the funds Joe Biden wire-transferred to Delaware banks, hedge funds, foundations.......
.........any financial instrument belonging to the parasitic Biden Crime Family.........

Any and a investigations in to this degenerate Chomo are to destroy all evidence of corruption and “prove” how angelic the she Biden an is.
“...giggles the Ho...” LOL!
Perfect description.
We still don’t club baby seals. Not going to get my hopes up at all.
Primary these RINOs in 2022. Death to the GOPe!
More to come when hell freezes over.
Government workers shouldn't have unions, either.
Third, the Speaker being in the line of succession is almost certainly unconstitutional. Article II provides that Congress may designate through legislation which “officer” should act as president if both the presidency and VP are vacant or if they are unable to act as such; the best reading would be to limit the line of succession to “officers” under Article II (i.e., Cabinet secretaries, etc.).
The word “officer” as used in such clause cannot be understood to refer to any old officer of government or branch thereof that Congress chooses, or else Congress could designate the Governor of NY as the next in line, which would violate the entire structure of the Constitution and our system of government to boot. Designating judicial officers (such as the Chief Justice), or congressional officers such as the Speaker (who aren’t even “officers of the United States” under the Constitution) also would violate separation of powers, and having them resign to act as president would mean that they no longer would hold the office that made them eligible to act as president in the first place.
“Father of the Constitition” James Madison himself made that constitutional argument when Federalist congressional majorities placed the (Federalist) President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House in the line of succession (it was a partisan move to prevent Democratic-Republican Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson from being second in line after VP Adams), and Congress finally corrected the error in 1886, only to have that idiot Harry Truman bring it back because he wanted “elected officias” atopt he line of succession; yeah, the fact that Nancy Pelosi and Pat Leahy were elected by a few hundred thousand San Francisco or Vermont moonbats sure gives them legitimacy to preside over all Americans.
If a Speaker tried to claim that he was Acting President, the Secretary of State (next in line after the Speaker and PPT) would go to court and claim to be the next constitutionally eligible officer after the VP, and, unless SCOTUS chickens out by calling it a “political question,” the Secretary of State would win.
