Trump declaring a National Emergency Requires HIS OWN SIGNATURE to RESCIND IT. Brilliant.

While re-allocation of Executive Branch funds is nothing new, the POTUS has basically CHECKMATED his opposition by declaring a National Emergency at our border.

It is allowed at ENTIRELY AT HIS DISCRETION, UNDER THE LAW, and, can only be RESCINDED,VIA HIS OWN SIGNATURE...also under the law.

Any asinine 9th Circus challenge to ALREADY ADJUDICATED LAW will be quickly dealt with, and SLAM DUNKED, by the US Supreme Court...based ON THE NATIONAL EMERGENCIES ACT, and its amendments .


Brilliant. Pres.Trump "TRUMPS" the Left...again.



~ "...Starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, presidents asserted the power to declare emergencies without limiting their scope or duration, without citing the relevant statutes, and without congressional oversight.[8] The Supreme Court in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer limited what a president could do in such an emergency, but did not limit the emergency declaration power itself. A 1973 Senate investigation found (in Senate Report 93-549) that four declared emergencies remained in effect: the 1933 banking crisis with respect to the hoarding of gold,[9] a 1950 emergency with respect to the Korean War,[10] a 1970 emergency regarding a postal workers strike, and a 1971 emergency in response to inflation.[11] Many provisions of statutory law are contingent on a declaration of national emergency, as many as 500 by one count.[12] It was due in part to concern that a declaration of "emergency" for one purpose should not invoke every possible executive emergency power, that Congress in 1976 passed the National Emergencies Act. "


~ ….."The Act authorized the President to activate emergency provisions of law via an emergency declaration on the conditions that the President specifies the provisions so activated and notifies Congress. An activation would expire if the President expressly terminated the emergency, or did not renew the emergency annually, or if each house of Congress passed a resolution terminating the emergency. After presidents objected to this "Congressional termination" provision on separation of powers grounds, it was replaced in 1985 with termination by an enacted joint resolution. A joint resolution passed by both chambers requires presidential signature, giving the president veto power over the termination. The Act also requires the President and executive agencies to maintain records of all orders and regulations that proceed from use of emergency authority, and to regularly report the cost incurred to Congress.

Interesting that the cartoon posted shows trump outplaying America - by cheating. very apt.

It's not a' checkmate' - it was the card hidden up his sleeve that we all knew was there as a last resort. There was no legal way he was going to get congress to give him the money he wanted so he just steps in and... takes it? What a stroke of genius, just blow the safe instead. The Great Negotiator can't negotiate a deal so he forces the nation to give him what he wants. Not subtle or smart, not a surprise and possibly, we will find out going forward, not legal.

if 'winning' is all that matters and getting some money - eny money - by any means fair or foul, then trump may well have got the 'win' his base wants - at least until the courts step in:

"There is simply no credible metric by which there is any national emergency at the border, let alone one that a wall would address, as The Post’s fact-checking team recently documented. Unauthorized border crossings are at historic lows. The type of migration that actually is spiking is composed of asylum-seeking families and children, but they are mostly turning themselves in to seek asylum, so a wall is utterly irrelevant to that problem. Drugs mostly enter through ports of entry."

Every reason given was a demonstrable lie, so we'll see how it holds up in court.
 
Uh-huh.

What’s the home serving for supper tonight?

It really will be a nonissue soon. The courts will strike this down, so it's more enjoyable watching cult members sill their panties signing Trumps praises.
 
Rescind means to take back. Yes, he is the only one that can change his mind on whether or not to declare a national emergency. The courts do not require his signature or his approval to strike it down, however.

Why doesn't he just go ahead and declare martial law and dispense with the whole annoying democracy?

Once again Grok is a crock. There are so many things wrong with this emergency declaration, but here are a few. This will go through the courts and even if it happens fast and he wins which is a big if, we then go to eminent domain which will be tied up in court for years before there is a decision before one single steel slat of whatever happens. And there is also the question of where some of the money he is taking from like the military’s construction fund. Is it legal?

Maybe if he declares martial law he can get around the eminent domain court battles. This is how dictators operate. They declare fake emergencies to get around the red tape of democracy.

Missed the UPSIDE DOWN FLAG..not surprisingly...America UNDER SEIGE.


His reasons ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ANYONE ELSE'S APPROVAL.

Can't read? The National Emergency Act was PROVIDED.

Oh really? "THE COURT"? You mean the NINTH CIRCUS???


On what basis? The National Emergency Act gives the POTUS all the authority he needs...and he is free to re-allocate Exec.Branch discretionary spending funds as he sees fit.

See the left desperate;ly hoping for their UNELECTED JUDGES to CIRCUMVENT THE LAW...again.


The USSC will BITCH SLAP THEM BACK INTO THEIR CORNER...again.

The NINTH CIRCUIT cannot CHANGE THE LAW, and , when they try, they will get their USUAL SMACKDOWN at the USSC....

More low-info NONSENSE from a Peanut Gallery poster.


Can't read? The POTUS DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE "APPROVAL" for his reasons to declare a National Emergency, and discretionary funding is his to allocate as he sees fit.

The Supreme Court rules laws unconstitutional all the time.

WT **** are you BLATHERING about?


Can NO ONE ON THE DP LEFT ****ING READ?



The National Emergency Act MAKES IT CLEAR, that the POTUS DOES NOT NEED ANYONE's "APPROVAL" to declare an emergency, or his stated reasons for doing so.

You forgot to include that Congress can terminate the national emergency declaration with a veto proof super majority vote. Very unlikely though since McConnell and other ReTrumplicans are too terrified to act.

WRONG. There is NO PROVISION in the National Security Act for averting the need for the POTUS' signature to rescind the declaration, regardless of the margins in a Congressional resolution.


Next....

No, you didn’t show or prove anything.

Find and post any SCOTUS document that uses USSC as an identifier for Supreme Court Of The United States. You won’t be able to because you’re dead wrong.
 
The Supreme Court rules laws unconstitutional all the time.

The National Emergency Act wil be UPHELD by the Supreme Court, and if the IDIOTS of the Ninth Circus get involved, they will be BITCH SLAPPED, per usual.

No way in hell SCOTUS upholds it. And I guarantee McConnell is praying that it doesn't.

Seriously, don’t you ever get tired of being wrong?

The Act empowers the President to activate special powers during a crisis but imposes certain procedural formalities when invoking such powers. The perceived need for the law arose from the scope and number of laws granting special powers to the executive in times of national emergency. Congress can undo a state of emergency declaration with either a joint resolution and the President’s signature, or with veto proof (two-thirds) majority vote..[1] Powers available under this Act are limited to the 136 emergency powers Congress has defined by law.[2]
