So.... You think it's a good idea for any political candidate to make a campaign promise, and then use a national emergency to keep his campaign promise, even when absolutely no emergency exists?
So... By your logic... the next political candidate can make a campaign promise - healthcare, gun control, free schooling - and then when they can't get it passed through Congress they can just declare a national emergency and pass it anyhow?
No. That's not how it works. We don't create fake emergencies to keep campaign promises. Ever.
