Senator Patty Murray on Twitter: "If President Trump opens the door to presidents declaring fake emergencies to fund spending they can’t persuade the people’s representatives in Congress to support, then a dangerous precedent has been set that puts our country on a slippery and very dangerous slope."

  No sense in allowing the Constitution to get in the way. BTW does Mr Maduro still have a declared emergency? Or Erdogan?

  So, to be certain I understand Trump's definition of an emergency: Once someone enters the U.S. & is here illegally, there is no emergency as long as the undocumented worker is employed by Trump International. However, if not employed by Trump, it's an emergency.pic.twitter.com/mSuknFrB5i

  Millions of uncontrolled border crossings; billions spent on associated welfare, litigation and border guards; insane and ineffective sausage legislation by congress; and an open border posture that is not secure is indeed an emergency. Congress failed our nation again.

  And around the world, leaders are removing term limits. tons of evidence, that though imperfect, democracy is probably our best bet. we made a mistake not teaching history/constitution from articles of confederation/to modern politics to most of the US population.

  Respectfully, you should check the past few presidents records on declaring national emergencies. It is almost like you just make stuff up. #democrats #fakenews

  No - that is not the slippery slope. That is crashing at the bottom of the hill
