Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!

There is a repeal mechanism in a 1974 Budget Act statute. https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg297.pdf (Start at pages 36-37 of the download, under Title X, Sections 1100-) Congress has 45 days to submit items for rescission, and to vote. 5 posted on 3/24/2018, 7:08:15 PM by research99
Is the military allowed to build a wall around the 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Manbij, Syria?
They pay later. Even if they don't and we get it who cares. It saves money. It saves our culture.
Often, you post the most outrageous ideas. Answer your own question while considering a method of comparative analysis.

That's true,but it doesn't really apply since he wouldn't be sending US troops anybody but in the US. Yeah,Texas,especially around Austin,and all of California can be more than a little foreign to sane people,but they are STILL US states. I repeat,NO President has to ask anybody for a single damn thing to see American troops anywhere in America,and to even suggest he would have to get permission to send them to Texas,Arizona,California,or any other American state to do construction projects as part of their annual training mission is absurd. Don't believe me,ask anybody that ever served on active or reserve duty with ANY branch of the US Military. It's been decades since I even looked at any of my printed assignment or transfer orders,but IIRC,EVERY ONE OF THEM had "by order of the President of the United States......" on them. How many of you loons think that either/both LBJ or Nixon took time of their day to think to themselves,"what I really need to do today is write up some orders to send Sgt Sneakypete somewhere!" PRESIDENTS HAVE THIS AUTHORITY BY VIRTUE OF BEING PRESIDENT. IF Presidents didn't have this authority WHY didn't the left file lawsuits against LBJ and Nixon during the VN war to keep them from sending troops to VN or anywhere else? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I'm guessing you would say they can't because Congress didn't specifically allocate the money for a wall in Syria, right?
And drugs. Like opioids.
But that isn't the question. It is the material support: bricks, mortar, cement, technical support and surveillance equipment. These material resources add up to BILLIONS of bucks. That requires Congressional approval.
He was,and maybe will down the road by using taxes/tarriffs on anything entering the US from Mexico. Right now he has to do what is possible,which is not necessarily the same thing as what he wants to do. So what's with this bait & switch? Why are you asking me? Ask the Party People in the alleged Republican Party and their brothers in the Dim Party. In FACT,why even blame Trump for this? Yeah,he ran for president with this being a large part of his platform,but who can blame him for ASSUMING that a Republican Congress would go along with a newly elected Republican President,instead of joining hands with the left in a Kumbaya Moment? Blame the traitors in congress with R's behind their names,and their treasonous supporters, In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I don't know why the USA is involved in Syria, to begin with. But, there is allocation of funding by this silly & stupid Congress.

It works then it doesn't. If it doesn't try googleing Building a Wall in the Dark Congress is using budget shenanigans to funnel Pentagon money to President Trump’s border wall. By Ryan Alexander
No,shithead,THE US MILITARY will be using money from their annual budgets to build the wall. Granted,the US Army Corps of Engineers will probably head up the effort because they are the largest engineering unit in the military and have the most officers and NCO's that are qualified to supervise the job,but the US Navy,USAF,and the USMC will also be involved. Especially the reserve units. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
They pay later. Even if they don't and we get it who cares. It saves money. It saves our culture. Bucky just wants to whine. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Read my links. They gave the President the power to realocate funds in 1985 to fight the deficit.
You are a little touchy, today. But, let's go back to details: there is no specific allocation of Congressional approval for a 25 BILLION dollar wall. Trump is smoking the same wacky-tabaky that you are.
Jorge Dubya Arbusto flushed that down the toilet a long time ago & there's no going back.
It is the material support: bricks, mortar, cement, technical support and surveillance equipment. These material resources add up to BILLIONS of bucks. That requires Congressional approval. Yeah,it is. Unless you think maybe the bricks,mortar,cement,etc,etc,etc will dig and pour the footings,build the forms,and pour the cement themselves. I don't want to shock you,but that comes out of the defense budget. How did you think the military engineers train without bricks,mortar,etc,etc,etc? The ONLY way to learn to build something is to build something. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I have to admit that is a mystery to me and many other people,also. But, there is allocation of funding by this silly & stupid Congress. Of course there was/is. It is a unplanned (in more ways than one,it seems)military movement to a foreign nation. In other words,it wasn't funded in the annual budget. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Yeah,I am.I am fed UP with the constant whining by RINO bitches about anything and everything Trump does or says in an effort to make his presidency fail. If Trump came out in favor of sunshine,you shitheads would suddenly hate it and call him a traitor to "truth,justice,and the 'murikan way of electing RINO slugs". But, let's go back to details: Ok. there is no specific allocation of Congressional approval for a 25 BILLION dollar wall. Nor does there have to be,dummy! Civilians aren't being hired to build it. The US Military will be building it AS A PART OF THEIR NORMAL OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING,AND THE MONEY TO PAY THEM HAS ALREADY BEEN BUDGETED. DAYUM,how many times does this simple fact have to be explained to you? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
A permanent structure authorized by the POTUS does not require Congressional approval by Congress for funding? Where did you hear about this idea?
With MUCHO help from his fellow travelers who dream of a Global World Government that has everyone under their thumb. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
You have missed the obvious details, Pete. Where is the approval of funding for the bricks & mortar?
Where did you hear about this idea? Ok,you are living proof that you can lead a jackass to water,but you can't make him drink. Go back to eating your boogers and leave the rest of us alone. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I actually think this is a brilliant Strategy. Out of the box thinking you only see on the left because the right is to afraid to push the limit for its voters for offending the left! I'm not a sure how it works constitutionally. But it is in the interest of national defense to build the wall then the military can have this wall built.
I have already explained to you it comes out of the annual training budget. If you can't understand something as basic as engineers need building materials to train,and that those building materials are a part of the normal military budget,there is no hope for you. BTW,don't even TRY a dumbass "Duuuuuhhhh,iz day iny bricks in de budgit n kin yew sho dim to me?" question. Overall budgets don't name specific items. There is a section that will have a title something like "construction materials for proposed training projects",but that is about as specific as it gets for an annual budget. Annual budgets HAVE to be flexible because no one can predict what will happen in the future. But you really know all this,anyhow. You just want to whine about Trump. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Congress declares war. Congress allocates the budget. It isn't based on some insane idea of Presidential dictatorial powers.
Wow. That's as dumb as a democRat.
25 BILLION USD for a couple of years? Who are you kidding when the US Defense Department is about 600 Billion.
General military funding, sure. But not specifically for a wall in Syria. The President has the authority and obligation to protect Americans, right? Normally, he delegates this authority to the people below him. But he has the power to tell them speciically how to use that money. Nixon did in the (undelared) Vietnam War by ordering specific bombing missions on Hanoi (Operation Linebacker II) and targets in Cambodia. Johnson did it with Operation Rolling Thunder.
When US personnel are intentionally placed in harm's way, as in Syria, it is understood. Presence of military in Syria is somehow approved by a stupid & silly Congress. On the USA/Mexico border .... no way.
American has not been constitutional in a long time. I'm sure there is a way it can be done. For once let the president work for the people instead of special interest of selling out America. The problem I see is if Trump has it put up the next president can have it taken down or have no maintenance done on wall and then wink to the drug lords to blow it up.
Hmmmm. Congress passed a drug budget, but Obama -- using his "dictatorial" powers -- refused to fund marijuana enforcement and directed those funds elsewhere. Seems to me that nobody, including you, had a problem with that.
The U.S. military invaded Grenada in 1983 "over concerns for the 600 U.S. medical students on the island and fears of a repeat of the Iran hostage crisis". Those students were not intentionally placed in arms way.
That's true of any Executive Order by any President. Trump is having a field day overturning Obama's EO's. But if the wall is put up and we experience positive results, I don't see how it can be torn down. That's really what the Democrats fear -- that it will actually work.
War cannot be declared against borders. Only countries, of course. He certainly has authority to order the military to build things. The only thing I can think of that might stop him from doing this is the eminent domain requirements to for private land holders near the border, as it may require a law passed to seize that land. I don't know. But I think it's likely that the president could have an avenue this way. The amount of money cited for the whole wall is far less than the military budget that was passed.
If Trump can dismantle Obummercare and get the wall! OMG he will be worth everything he does! LOL Trump has already out done both bushes and if he pulls off the wall he will be up there with President Reagan in just over one freaking year! Doing all this while fighting the progressive left(commies) from both parties and 99% of the media!! I love that he does not give up and just keeps beating the progressive left at nearly everything. I believe the left(both parties) thought they could just roll right over Trump and send him home with his tail between his legs! Another thing as much as I know about Trump those that went after his family just pissed him off more! Which makes him fight harder.
He's got until November, 2020. If he doesn't get it done by then, he might just as well not even run. He will not get my vote.
Here's another thing we know about Trump; When he feels he's been betrayed (by certain advisers), embarrassed and rolled (which is rare), THAT makes him even more resolute. And he IS extremely embarrassed over this debacle. Initially I thought the Deep State and Ryan/McConnell just steamrolled him, blackmailing Trump into signing this Budget monstrosity (That may still be the case)... But I've got the feeling that DT is preparing some yuge redemptive moves. Some that will shock & awe. Wishful thinking? Perhaps.
He was,and maybe will down the road by using taxes/tarriffs on anything entering the US from Mexico... Yup. There are many indirect ways that Mexico can and will wind up financing this Wall. Trump can also return DACA and Illegals to Mexico who have been bleeding billions in US Taxpayer subsidies. In FACT,why even blame Trump for this? Yeah,he ran for president with this being a large part of his platform,but who can blame him for ASSUMING that a Republican Congress would go along with a newly elected Republican President,instead of joining hands with the left in a Kumbaya Moment? Amen! (But remember -- Willie is now a loyal Democrat.) It should indeed be noted htat McConnell (D) and Ryan (D) are most responsible for blackmailing OTHER Congressional Pubbies into betraying the President and the conservative, America First agenda, colluding with the Dem-Left. What they've done is unprecedented. Imagine Dems voting against 0bama en mass? NOPE, me neither. Blame the traitors in congress with R's behind their names,and their treasonous supporters, Yes. Exactly. Why and how is Mitch McConnell avoiding scrutiny and any criticism at all?? Oh, that's right -- the Dem-Left controlled MEDIA has his back. Trump is between a rock & hard place if he goes after McConnell. And McConnell knows it. THIS book might help (excerpt from Breitbart): [Peter] Schweizer joined Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight for an interview with co-hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak to discuss McConnell’s linkages to China, as detailed in his latest book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.
