[quote:oniongrass:MV8zOTU1OTc4XzcxNTA4MjYzXzJFMzdCNDNB] [quote:MarkinAZ:MV8zOTU1OTc4XzcxNTA3NjcxXzg2NDg1Q0RE] NO! It doesn’t free up the government until and unless the Senate and the House vote on funding bills and either override the presidential veto or the president signs the bill the house and senate have approved. BTW: It takes 2/3rds of the HOUSE and SENATE to override a presidential veto. And they are very close to having the numbers already. That’s why Trump is going to use the declaration of an emergency where none exists. This declaration will be stopped by the courts is my best guess. It may take a year of litigation but it will in the end, be stopped and Trump will pay a hell of a price for the misuse of power. [/quote] After a year, the wall will be in place. And I doubt that a court would say this isn't an emergency. The border problems are real, even liberal "fact checkers" aren't challenging them. [/quote]

I am clueless as to the legal workings behind this. Will the government reopen if he declares the wall a national emergency?
