GOP senator: Trump emergency declaration creates 'constitutional crisis'
By Jordain Carney - 02/28/19 02:47 PM EST

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) on Thursday urged President Trump to reconsider his decision to declare a national emergency to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall, warning that Trump was creating a "constitutional crisis."

"I want to make a respectful suggestion and that is that President Trump ask his lawyers to take a second look at existing funding authority that the president has," Alexander said during a Senate floor speech.

Alexander, who is retiring at the end of this Congress, outlined several concerns that he has about Trump's decision to declare a national emergency, but did not specifically say if he would vote for or against a resolution to block it, which is expected to get a Senate vote in the next few weeks.

A fake constitutional crisis.

The real constitutional crisis was made by Congress in not doing its sworn duty and protecting America from invaders.

And representing their K Street masters instead of their constituents who elected them!
