ActionfigureJoe Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) disclosed on Saturday that he will vote in support of a resolution this month to block President Trump's emergency declaration, reports the Bowling Green Daily News. "I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress. We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn’t authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it’s a dangerous thing." Why it matters: Paul's vote, along with the votes of Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis, gives the Senate the majority necessary to block Trump's national emergency. Trump has already vowed to veto the resolution if it passes, which will be the first veto of his presidency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtssrx Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Rand Paul supports the wall. He doesn’t support the national emergency because it allows the president to spend money that wasn’t appropriated by Congress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn’t support making this a weapon that weakens the Constitutional power of Congress and thus decreases the balance of power in government. I can’t wait for the supporters of this to whine and complain when the next dem President does it. They will do this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, what will be their resolution? Pretty sure both of those have already been "declared" with failed resolutions. This is a false dichotomy. There are things they can/will try but....probably not gonna work out. Working to secure borders will garner American support. Working to avoid securing borders will draw Republican votes (American support). This will be a Veto that will send TDS into levels of EXCELLENCE!

No, the National Emergencies Act of 1976 is what gives the President that right. An inherently flawed bill. It was not designed to be used because someone didn’t get their way and Congress said no. Every other President has recognized that fact and not used it to push an agenda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
