On Friday Attorney General Bill Barr sided with President Trump.

Barr said the president “absolutely has the right to declare a national
emergency on the southern border there.

He says the veto is the right thing to do.
And the declaration will hold up in a court of law.

AG Bill Barr: Mr. President your declaration of an emergency on the
southern border was clearly authorized under the law and consistent with past precedent…

The humanitarian and security crisis that we currently have right now on the border is exactly the type of emergency that presidents are permitted to address.

I tend to agree with Barr on this one.  If Congress doesn't think the President should have the authority to declare an emergency, they should change the law.

They cannot unless they get 2/3 in both houses because of the certain veto.

Exactly.
