President Trump’s national emergency declaration is well within his executive authority. Congress passed the National Emergencies Act, giving the President vast powers in the event of a national emergency, in 1976. President Trump’s emergency declaration Friday is not only lawful and constitutional – it is painfully necessary. President Trump’s national emergency declaration acknowledged this vast security and humanitarian crisis on our border and came after the president made extraordinary efforts to find a compromise with Democrats. By acting on behalf of the American people President Trump did what was right and what we should expect from any president.
