Yes he can.
Yes he can.
Yes he can.

Why?

Here’s why:

Public Law 107–40

107th Congress
Joint Resolution

To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.

Whereas, on September 11, 2001, acts of treacherous violence were committed against the United States and its citizens; and

Whereas, such acts render it both necessary and appropriate that the United States exercise its rights to self-defense and to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad; and

Whereas, in light of the threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by these grave acts of violence; and

Whereas, such acts continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States; and

Whereas, the President has authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This joint resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’’.

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

(a) IN GENERAL.—That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

(b) WAR POWERS RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS.—

(1) SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.—Consistent with
section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.

THIS HAS NEVER BEEN RESCINDED - IT IS STILL IN EFFECT
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN RESCINDED - IT IS STILL IN EFFECT
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN RESCINDED - IT IS STILL IN EFFECT

This is what gives the President the authority to engage in any military activity he deems necessary to protect the Constitution against international terrorism.

WE KNOW that there are terrorists (MS13 included) among the “refugees.”

Building a wall to keep terrorists out of US territory falls within the scope of “all necessary and appropriate force” and “authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States.”

President Trump will build the wall.

Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA
