I'm not advocating for abortions. I was making an absurd example to highlight why this is a bad precedent. It will be abused.

B2, don't know what else to say. You're not researching or posting anything I don't already know. It's not a problem of whether or not Trump can do it. It's whether or not he should. This will create a loophole that will eventually allow future Presidents to work around congress. Not a conservative position to support that. Now that the cat's out of the bag, it will be used again unless congress changes it or the SC strikes this down or gives points of clarity (or, most reasonably, demands congress revise certain parts for clarity). Like I said. I'm just going on record now. I'm sure we'll revisit this topic in a few years.

This doesn't create a loophole, it follows existing law.  You keep asserting that this is something outside the bounds of the constitution, but it's following the plain text of a statute.  

Moreover, Congress isn't bypassed.  They have the ability to end the state of emergency if they pass a motion of disapproval by a veto proof majority.  That's a far cry from being tied in the corner. 

The Obama administration gave Iran 150 billion dollars.  150 billion.  He created an immigration program without the approval of congress and the lefty courts actually blocked the president from overturning it.  But Trump is setting a precedent?  

It has been CONDITIONED into modern American society that conservatives and republicans are the only ones that are EVER to be evaluated about ANYHING.  Don't pay attention the what the left does, try to combat what the left does, don't follow the plain text of laws that have been dully passed and used by previous presidents.  Stand in a corner, on your head with your pants around your ankles and if you move or breathe your neo-con hypocrite.
