President Donald Trump shut the United States government down over his demands for funding a wall on the U. S. border with Mexico. Trump proudly said he would own the government shutdown last month. Now that the partial government closure is a reality without much hope of an end, Trump is exploring ways to fund the wall anyway, and one of those ways is declaring the situation a national emergency. However, Representative Adam Schiff (D-California) said that the president lacks the power and reason to claim such an emergency.
Earlier today, Schiff told CNN that Trump is merely using “threatening talk” to try to get what he wants in this situation.
“Look, if Harry Truman couldn’t nationalize the steel industry during wartime, this president doesn’t have the power to declare an emergency and build a multi-billion dollar wall on the border.
