My question is....can the money attained by the national emergency be spent the way he wants, or does he have to abide by the bill regarding restrictions? I would assume that the ridiculous butterfly regulations only affect the $1.375 billion.
“can the money attained by the national emergency be spent the way he wants, or does he have to abide by the bill regarding restrictions?”
Bill Clinton spent the military budget on expendables on his social welfare giveaways. I saw photos of Marines in battle dress diapering AIDS babies in Africa. (He declared AIDS in Africa as an emergency.) So, I am guessing the president can pretty much spend on whatever he wants.
When GWB was elected I was an employee at General Dynamics. The president of GD sent around a general broadcast email that he had been contacted by the President elect’s office and been told to go to 24 hour shifts making bullets and bombs, as the inventory was currently empty. GD’s president said he’d been told the Pentagon would negotiate the cost after GWB took office. Good to his word, we got paid fore everything we produced.
Word at the time was, GWB’s office contacted just about every CEO in defense and ordered jet engines and spare parts across the board. The military must have been in horrible shape. A recently separated soldier told me that the guards at his base had bought their own ammunition as there was none available for issue.
Use the Dec of Em to direct Chapo’s 14 billion in confiscated assets and accounts to building the wall.
“...does he have to abide by the bill regarding restrictions?”
Negative. President Trump can agree to the terms of the bill and then use his presidential powers in addition.
It’s a masterstroke.
Let us spend a moment in prayer to thank God and ask for his protection for this great American President.
This is simply the greatest American President since Ronald Maximus The Great and perhaps in all our lifetimes.
He never stops fighting for America and Americans. He just doesn’t. Pray for his and his family’s protection.
“...can the money attained by the national emergency be spent the way he wants...”
Yes.
DON'T second guess the MAN with the PLAN.
Trump's book.. "The Art of the Deal" is in play.
