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.

So from now on, I'll make sure I don't treat you in such a shabby way again. It's 99 words or less to you! (per post).
Not only are his posts long and constantly devolving, he can’t even come up with a short moniker!
The Cheeseburger Brigade can’t handle the truth.
Of course, you've been here 4-5 months now, so you likely already have known this awhile.
Some of these swamp-dwellers, but not all, are what I would call "Pearl Turdles". For some unknown reason (perhaps age-related?), their eyesight and sense of smell have vastly deteriorated, so that after they do their daily chore of soiling the pages of FR by dropping little turds all over, they then turn and look closely at the turds and sniff them, but somehow, miraculously, they think they actually dropped Pearls of Wisdom, rather than turds.
Having a long moniker has it’s advantages. Though it doesn’t inhibit direct replies as you’ve just done, it seriously cuts down on people who add long lists of names to their screeds, thinking to spread their Pearls of Wisdumb to the widest possible audience.
Unlike you, I know what the word means and how to use it in a sentence.
But didn't and still don't know why you used it, alone, in a post to me.
All I’m saying is Ann is right on immigration.
Being a “broken record” doesn’t make the post correct nor even valid.
What is incorrect about it? Where do you and Ann differ?

You will charge me for “doling so.”
See, I do know how to use it in a sentence. You? Not so much.
