yakov_a_jerkovHere's what McConnell said:
I've just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump, and he would, I would say to all my colleagues, has indicated that he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that I'm going to prepare -- I'm going to support the national emergency declaration. So for all of my colleagues, the President will sign the bill. We'll be voting on it shortly.Benjy Sarlin:
It's a good thing for Republicans there's nothing going on right now that virtually every Democrat considers a national emergency and that the next Democratic president won't be able to get any GOP votes to deal with.Nate Silver:
It's *especially* good news for Republicans that if there were such an emergency, it definitely wouldn't involve large scale funding for engineering projects. That would really be bad.
Finally, it's *really* good news for Republicans that the current Democratic presidential candidates are totally ignoring the most militant activists on this hypothetical emergency and not, say, rushing to align themselves with their demands.
Declaring a national emergency would be a *very* unpopular step.Да, и вот это точно -- Josh Dawsey:
It's unclear whether it would fade into the background as it got tied up in the courts, or would remain a salient issue for some time.
There's quite a long ways between "Mexico will pay for the wall" to "I will declare a national emergency to fund the wall because the United States Congress won't give me the money I want".Ann Coulter рвет и мечет. Я, правда, уже плохо понимаю почему.
NATIONAL EMERGENCY WON'T HELP. IT'S OVER IF HE SIGNS THIS BILL!И, как обычно, there is a tweet.
This spending bill will ensure that not a single mile of fence will be built. (Any sort of "wall" is directly prohibited.)
To declare a national emergency, Trump will now have to argue that a bill HE SIGNED was unconstitutional.
Ask your new AG if this is a good idea.
There's no coming back from this. No "emergency" or presidential powers will allow him to build the wall, ever, after he signs this bill. Trump has just agreed to fully open borders.
Trump is the American Merkel. But who cares about Germany? Trump just destroyed the U.S.A.
Repubs must not allow Pres Obama to subvert the Constitution of the US for his own benefit & because he is unable to negotiate w/ Congress.

George W. Bush declared 13 emergencies and Barack Obama declared 12 -- nearly all of which are still active today. Bill Clinton declared 17 national emergencies, six of which are still active. Ronald Reagan declared six and George H.W. Bush declared four -- but all of those have been revoked by now.

Sept 14, 2001: The National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks was in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States
March 16, 2014: The National Emergency With Respect to Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine was in response to the Russian invasion of Crimea
Sept 12, 2018: The National Emergency With Respect to Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election attempted to prevent any meddling with the 2018 midterm elections amid the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election
Таким образом, они были реакцией на реальные события, а не на выдуманный кризис.

"Blocking Property of Certain Persons" это не Emergency в обывательском смысле (Яков выше спрашивает "какая же это emergency").
Этот кризис натуральный, усугубленный калуженом левых с наркоторговцами.
Один акт принят:

Этот тоже примут. Ничего страшного.

В данном случае речь идёт о незаконном президентском указе.
