Could someone here explain what exactly RUMP can do by declaring NE?

[bluestarone]

What powers does he get AND what will STOP him? Could the courts stop this BULLSHIT for 2 years? (counting the appeals) TY in advance.

1. Not much in the long term, because the courts can shut him down. Like Pelosi says, ...

he is opening the door for reciprocal actions by a Democratic President. That's a concern for us in that it invites a war of NEs.

3. TY i'm hoping at the very least

No decision until LAST year of his presidency!

6. One more question.

I know they won't BUT, could the RETHUGS in the senate STOP this? (Other than impeachment i mean)

[marble falls]

8. Sure and the more conservative they are the more they want to stop it. They're trying to ...

frame a law regarding controlling a DE in a bipartisan effort right now.

At some point I expect him to say he's done more than any President and dump the mess on Mike Pence's lap.

2. The Atlantic has a good article about it, link below.

7. Trump will take and abuse as much power as he can get away with.

At some point this lunatic needs to be taken out by Congress or by the military if it really gets serious.
