President Trump Sends Notification Of Veto For H.J. 46 To The House Of Representatives

Attorney General Barr: "Mr. President, your declaration of an emergency on the southern border was clearly authorized under the law and consistent with past precedent.

As you said, the National Emergencies Act directly authorizes the President, and gives broad discretionary authority to the President, to identify and respond to emergent circumstances that require a decisive response.

And the humanitarian and security crisis we have on the border right now is exactly the kind of emergency that Presidents are permitted to address under the National Emergencies Act."

Blog Author's Comments: Thank you President Trump for putting America first. All past presidents merely kicked the can down the road, they were reluctant and fearful to address this issue that required a President of substance to make the correct decision. The Democrats do not want secure borders, they view illegals as future Democrat voters. The President made the right conclusion to finally do what was badly needed. We do need a Wall or Barrier on our border, this is indeed a National Emergency.

President Trump is the only thing standing between America and anarchy. Congress no longer represents the American people. The Democratic Socialists are enemies of the American people, upon them falls the responsibility of the dead, the rapes, the assaults and kidnappings that the illegals do on American soil, plus the money the taxpayers must shoulder to care for these people. Obama declared a "National Emergency" and aid for, Libya, Yemen, Ukraine, Burundi, Somalia, Venezuela, South Sudan, and Central Africa, the President declared a "National Emergency" for America, let that sink in and I am sure you will agree with the President.

The betrayal of Emergency at the border by Republicans will not be taken lightly by constituents. See the list of RINO's below.

• Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
• Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.
• Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine
• Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah
• Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska
• Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
• Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio
• Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah
• Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
• Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
• Sen. Roger Wicker, R- Miss.

Obama Will Veto GOP Bill That Restores Funding For Veterans' Benefits

Via: WhiteHouse.gov. Statement of Administration Policy
The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, making fiscal year 2014 appropriations for very limited activities. Consideration of appropriations bills in a piecemeal fashion is not a serious or responsible way to run the United States Government. Instead of opening up a few Government functions, the House of Representatives should re-open all of the Government. The harmful impacts of a shutdown extend across Government, affecting services that are critical to small businesses, women, children, seniors, and others across the Nation. The Senate acted in a responsible manner on a short-term funding measure to maintain Government functions and avoid a damaging Government shutdown. The House of Representatives should allow a straight up or down vote on the Senate-passed H.J. Res. 59.

If the President were presented with H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, he would veto the bills.

Blog author's comments - What a small, little man. Obama is used to yes men and groveling subservient liberals, I doubt he has had much experience in dealing with men like our war veterans, with their honesty and integrity. In fact, I don't believe he cares that much about our veterans and what they have sacrificed and done for our country.

Obama is an incompetent person yet his goal to dismantle America is working according to his plan. The Obama administration with the help of the liberal media is building a country for the low-information people, the lowest common denominator among us. This is what bothers me the most because it is not a plan for a great country.
