It's great that members of Congress have located specific legislative language permitting the president to build a border wall, but I'm wondering: Has anybody read the Constitution?
It says:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."
"(The president) shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."
With millions of foreigners illegally pouring across our border, it sure looks like the laws are not being "faithfully executed." I wonder if the COMMANDER IN CHIEF has any authority to stop it.
The Constitution was expressly designed to make it difficult to do what our military does all the time -- fight wars around the globe -- and easy to do what our military never does -- defend our own country.
Congress was given power to "declare war," but not to "make war," for the precise purpose of stalling the march to war. It was a selling point that the legislative branch takes forever to do anything.
But we had a country to protect, so the Constitution gave the energetic, fast-moving president the authority to deploy the military defensively.

You can believe in the Easter Bunny too, if you really want to. But I wouldn't respect you for it.
Never cared for her. Her attention-whore antics always rubbed me the wrong way. Her love of Mittens sealed the deal.
Attention whore. Does she have a book coming out soon?
LOL...yes, that sign-up date is quite telling, indeed!
And that’s still NOT really what this is all about; n00b.
That’s what I was talking about.
Oh grow up, n00b and l,earn the ropes, here, before you post again.
Ann is right on immigration... That’s all I’m saying.
That’s your opinion and no matter how many times you post that, wasting bandwidth, it doesn’t 1) make it so 2) mean that your posts are of any value 3) makes you anything but a stupid troll.
You mad, bro?
No, but YOU certainly are insane, not to mention immature, silly, and now a laughing stock; n00b.
You seem mad.
Your use of semi-colons is incorrect.
Oh goody, yet another second grade taunt. LOL
Your nic has old Agrippa roiling ( and I do NOT mean rolling! ) in his ancient grave.
I think Ann is right on immigration. You still seem mad.
My nic? You mad, bro? Your obsession with a total stranger on an obscure website who believes that Ann is correct on immigration is REALLY bizarre.
Do you obsess like this over every human being who doesn’t agree with you?
Ditto.
How did YOU find it?
Why did you join it?
Is that really YOU Ann, dear? LOL
Now that word obsesses you? GET HELP!
