Dissolving congress would violate strictures within the constitution itself. No law can be made that does that, and if it were the Supreme Court would assert itself with a ruling of unconstitutionality.
I fully expect the SCOTUS to rule this National Emergency unconstitutional. That is why I said "if Trump can get this past the SCOTUS..." he can do it all.
Allocating funds which congress authorizes...as it does in the Emergency Act...adheres to the constitution. The court has, in fact, upheld this kind of allocation and President's have allocated funds in this way repeatedly.
I'm sorry you don't see a difference between declaring a National Emergency for a devastating natural disaster or recent destruction of war, and a decades festering problem that the Congress legislated but the President countermanded. I do.
Even in this current declaration, the President's access to funds are limited...he cannot, for example, extract funds from Social Security or welfare programs for Border security. So your silly assertion regarding the scope of fiscal powers under this Act is dishonest.
So it's ok because Trump is only ignoring the last budget a little bit. If the Congress and the courts refuse to stop Trump now, they set a precedence.
I believe leaders rule with the consent of the people, even despots. A despot may use force to get that consent, but if the people stand up and say no the leader can either accept it or be replaced. Trump will get away with everything the Congress and courts let him get away with but if the people lose faith in Trump eventually there will be 2/3rds to override a VETO.
Thank you for your reply.
