You are uneducated as to what a president can and cannot do. Here...learn something and pass it on. Note: the first link is for Dummies. Note! He cannot make laws! Carrying out legislation: As the head of the executive branch of the federal government, the President is responsible for ensuring that all the nation’s laws are “faithfully executed.” In other words, the President carries out the legislation enacted by Congress but cannot initiate legislation himself. How Washington Works:: https://www.dummies.com/education/politics-government/washington-d-c-constitutional-duties-of-the-president-of-the-united-states/ A PRESIDENT CAN . . . * make treaties with the approval of the Senate. * veto bills and sign bills. * represent our nation in talks with foreign countries. * enforce the laws that Congress passes. * act as Commander-in-Chief during a war. * call out troops to protect our nation against an attack. * make suggestions about things that should be new laws. * lead his political party. * entertain foreign guests. * recognize foreign countries. * grant pardons. * nominate Cabinet members and Supreme Court Justices and other high officials. * appoint ambassadors. * talk directly to the people about problems. * represent the best interest of all the people A PRESIDENT CANNOT . . . * make laws. * declare war. * decide how federal money will be spent. * interpret laws. * choose Cabinet members or Supreme Court Justices without Senate approval. https://www.trumanlibrary.org/whistlestop/teacher_lessons/3branches/17.htm [/quote] Ah Nutmeg, the President has put 4,500 troops on the border to assist the CBP. He can double or triple that. He can levy tariffs on Mexican goods coming into the country to pressure the Mexican government to stem the flow. He can close points of entry that are known to be major illegal crossing zones. [/quote] There are 1,954 miles of border between the USA and Mexico. That doesn't include water. That's land. There are 48 legal border crossings into the USA. Since you know which ones are "known to be major illegal crossing zones," please share with the rest of us. [/quote] I don't know which points of entry are the big problems but rest assured the CBP does. That's where they will be building the walls first. More troops can't hurt in controlling the situation . Tariffs will put the squeeze on the Mexican government who along with the UN are responsible for this crisis. There is a reason for this surge in illegal crossings. Who do you think is responsible? Get a grip Nutmeg. I back Trump, but there is a reason he is allowing this catastrophe to happen after 814 days in office. [/quote] Don't give me that crap to "get a grip." Have you listened to him? Have you heard him tell Congress that the laws accepting illegals MUST change? He can't change laws. He can't make laws. Only Congress can! There are laws in place saying that the USA MUST accept people seeking asylum. Only Congress can change these laws. THAT'S what he's up against. How many times have YOU called your congressmen to tell them to change these laws? People like you bitch and whine along with others here, yet YOU have people in congress representing YOU! Call them! [/quote] I don't call Congress critters, I message them and expect a answer. Appears you have given up on controlling the illegal problem, using the Dimms as a excuse. He has been aware of this increased problem for months and even put 4,500 troops on the border. Why is he not doing more? [/quote]
