The POTUS has the right to declare a national state of emergency. It has already been done 58 times. The POTUS as commander in cheif can order the military to build the wall. The POTUS can authorize the military to draw raw steel from the strategic reserve. The only thing that either congress or the courts can do is try to interfere with appropriations. But, since the military budget is already appropriated and the raw materials are already paid for, not much they will be able to do there.
