The President of the United States has wide and sweeping powers which are only to be used in the event of an actual emergency. The President can suspend the U.S. Constitution. But when such powers are used improperly the President needs to be stopped AND removed from office.

Everyone knows there is no national emergency at our Southern Border. Instead, this is a situation that is being handled properly through out the years, and is becoming less and less of a problem every year. Everyone knows this is nothing more than a last ditch effort for Trump to keep a campaign promise.

This needs to be stopped. If it isn't stopped, what happens when a Democratic President takes office?
