Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly warned President Trump this week that declaring a national emergency to build his U.S.-Mexico border wall could create a rift in the GOP conference.
The Washington Post reported Friday that McConnell told Trump the Senate could pass a resolution disapproving the emergency declaratioN.

Didn’t the chi-coms make his family rich?
I want the names of the traitors.
Yep.
This jackass and most of his GOP clowns are trying to keep us bleeding, dying & going bankrupt in Syria & Afghanistan & won’t let us build a wall to protect ourselves against foreign invasion.
This is SICK!
Washington comPost is primary source. IOW, garbage.
Apparently, you haven’t been keeping up with the GOP Senate undermining POTUS’s agenda news lately:

It all boils down to this decades old broken down horse, being jealous of the horse that came to the track without training, and bested his best time ever first time out.
They answer to big donors. If they wanted the wall, they would have tried to find it over the past two years. Instead they sent Trump budgets that actually prohibited spending on the wall

A big reason to repeal the 17th Amendment.
“Question is: does he have authority to declare emergency to build wall or not.”
Doesn’t matter. Are you locked and loaded and ready to go to war against the weenie deep state? The weenie deep state is in your neighborhood, posing as FBI, IRS, Social Security, BLM.
If you don’t have a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county, I suggest you elect one now.
The war against the fascist pig deep state is imminent.
And did you see the real time video of border entry closure near San Diego last night....heavily armed troops an BP...complete with smoke and flash bombs..it was a practice test.
The Rift was created by RINOs long ago - just waiting for RINOs to exploit it when convenient.
There is plenty of money for the wall...President Trump should avail himself of it and stop this foolishness, use his presidential rights and get on with it. Stop fooling around with Ms. Pelosi, it is becoming tiresome even for President Trump’s base.
Exactly what they want: him gone or owned.
“Question, Does he have the authority to build the wall or not?

“Through the insidious yet steady encroachment of “emergency powers” the government has now achieved the ability to rule the people by statute or decree, without the vote or the consent of the ruled. Through a maze of political maneuvers, the emergency powers granted to President Roosevelt in 1933 to deal with an economic depression have become part of the US Code as permanent everyday powers.” - source: “Constitution Fact or Fiction” -Dr. Eugene Schroder.
Senate Report 93-549 (1973):
Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency...A majority of the people of the United States have lived all their lives under emergency rule. for 40 years (written in 1973) freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the constitution have, in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by states of National emergency. In the United States, actions taken by government in times of great crisis have...in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of National emergency”.
“These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers taken together, confer enough authority to rule this country without reference to normal constitutional process.”
These same Senators will vote to impeach as well...
My suggestion is that Trump get both the House and Senate together, abort them all and just take over! His approval ratings will shoot into the 90’s! If we don’t, the left sure as hell will. Rather serve under a dictator that knows what the hell he’s doing, then have a representive government that no longer represents us!
Congress revised the National Emergencies Act so that the termination of an emergency decree requires a joint resolution signed by the president. If the president vetoes such a measure, a two-thirds majority vote in each chamber
would be needed to override.
Exactly!
