Washington – The two top Democrats in the U.S. Congress on Friday said President Donald Trump was violating Congress’ constitutionally granted power of the purse by issuing an emergency declaration to obtain funds to build a border wall, and they threatened potential legal action.

“The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the courts, and in the public, using every remedy available,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement.
“The Congress cannot let the President shred the Constitution,” they said.
The ‘strict Constitutionalists’ are ok w herr trumpf’s idiotic phony emergency? Why didn’t he declare it 2 years ago? Or get both GOP houses to pass his ghetto wall? Even the US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is against the phony ’emergency’. His ghetto wall is cursed. FEH=Orange Kreplach trumpie who is 3 foot 5 today.
My Dear Hashoiteh, unfortunately for you and Pelosi and Schumer, the courts will uphold President Trump’s emergency funding for the wall. Why? Because the Supreme Court is B’H controlled by conservatives who agree that a country that has no control over who comes in, is no country.
Yet it’s been used 31 times so far. Maybe not unconstitutional after all.
Archie, your spelling keeps getting worse.
If you are saying Trumps wall will be built on land no one owns, there is no such thing and if there were it would have to be through eminent domain. Trump has to contend with owners of land that span the border and Indian owned lands.
How quickly do you think even a mile of Trump wall can be built? A mile wall takes a huge amount of steel or concrete or legos.
we’re between a rock and a hard place. following captain queeg (aka trump) or following the muslim congresswomen. oy vey
